Occupation and Industry Codes in the American Time Use Survey

Industry data collected in the 2003-09 American Time Use Survey (ATUS) were classified using the 2002 Census Industry Classification system. Industry data collected in the 2010 ATUS were coded using the 2007 Census Industry Classification system. There are only minor differences between these classification systems.

More information on the differences between the 2002 and the 2007 Census Industry classification systems is provided by the Current Population Survey. For detailed information on ATUS variables impacted by this change, see changes between the 2003 to 2010 ATUS as well as the 2010 ATUS Data Dictionaries.
