McDOT 2001-2005 9-digit DOT Codes: This Job Specific DOT Code number can be used to locate the standard definition, worker trait requirements, trait-element requirements and crosswalk classification codes for each specific job in the McCroskey 6th Edition Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT, N=12,975) - (McDOT 6.0-2005; McCroskey, 2005). All 12,975 McDOT 2003 Codes were based on the 12,741, job-specific, 9-digit DOT Codes from the 1991 US 4th Edition DOT (US DOL, 1991). O*NET Means Data Profiles were data mined and fused with DOT Job Analysis Data Profiles to update the 12,761 McDOT Occupations in the McDOT 1998-2001 5th Edition DOT - Extended Dataset Edition (McCroskey, 2001) and 200 new Occupations added to the McDOT 6th Editions (McDOT Versions 6.0-2005; McCroskey, 2005).

 

The first three digits of each McDOT Code Number indicate the Occupational Group to which the job belongs. There are a total of 560 Occupational Groups, which are classified into 82 Occupational Divisions (first two digits), which are further classified into 10 broad Occupational Categories (first digit). Note: Category 2 is subdivided into two sub-categories, Category 2a & 2b). Occupational Category, Division and Group Ranges, along with corresponding Occupational Category names include:
