Work level

Term · Economic statistics · MLC-T-ECS-002146

Measure of duties and responsibilities that apply to occupations, using an evaluation system based on four factors.

Note: The NCS produces earnings data by levels of work within an occupation. The duties and responsibilities of a job are evaluated with the use of four factors (knowledge, job control and complexity, contacts, physical environment in which the job is performed) to determine a work level. Levels vary by occupation, ranging from 1 to 15. For example, level 1 may represent an entry level, while level 15 may represent master-level skills.
