What Is ISCO?

ISCO is a global occupational classification system designed to organize jobs into clearly defined groups based on tasks and duties. It provides a standardized framework used worldwide for labor statistics, migration analysis, workforce planning, and policy reporting.

Each occupation in ISCO has a structured numeric code within a hierarchical system (major, sub-major, minor, and unit groups), allowing organizations to classify and compare roles consistently across countries and regions.

Why ISCO Classification Matters

Global Standardization. Align job titles and descriptions to an internationally recognized occupation framework.
Cross-Country Comparability. Enable workforce analytics and benchmarking across regions.
Labor Market Reporting. Support government reporting, migration systems, and international statistics.
Workforce Intelligence. Improve segmentation, matching, and occupational analysis at scale.

ISCO FAQ

What is ISCO?

ISCO (International Standard Classification of Occupations) is the global occupation framework maintained by the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is widely used for international labor statistics, migration analysis, and workforce reporting.

ISCO vs SOC — what’s the difference?

SOC is primarily used in the United States for occupational reporting.

ISCO is an international classification standard used across countries for harmonized labor statistics.

Organizations operating globally often need ISCO for cross-country reporting.

How accurate is it?

Accuracy depends on input clarity and occupational specificity. The API returns ranked candidates with confidence scores. Clear responsibilities produce stronger matches; ambiguous titles result in broader distributions.

Can I classify in bulk?

Yes. Upload workforce datasets for batch processing. Download enriched files with ISCO codes from the dashboard once processing completes.

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits depend on plan. Starter supports evaluation and light usage. Growth and Enterprise plans support high-throughput international datasets. See: https://taxer.com/pricing.

Is output deterministic?

Yes. Given the same input and taxonomy version, outputs are reproducible. This ensures consistency for statistical reporting and governance.

Next step: Try the demo with one of your real job posts or workforce records, then request an API key when you're ready to integrate ISCO classification into your global pipeline.
