Nurses Classifying according to skill level, tasks are the same in major group 2 and 3 Professional nurses in major group 2 Nurses in major group 3 Assistant nurses in major group 5 Possible classifying criterion, according to the character of tasks performed: Nurses „helping physicians” Nurses „working at the bed”

Teachers Classifying according to skill level Teaching professionals in major group 2 Teaching associate professionals in major group 3 Classifying teachers outside the educational system is problematic: Vocational trainers in a company Language teachers not in the educational system

Technicians Working under engineer’s direction Lower skill level Lower independence in work Classification of technical occupations (engineers, technicians) is problematic, because the breaking down of these groups are not by tasks, but by branches (of study)! Possible dimension of classification Planning – manufacturing

Updating of Hungarian Standard Classification of Occupations To enlarge the list of jobs To remove obsolete occupations To add new occupations To change the place of certain occupations in the system To actualize the content description of occupations

Enlarging of list of jobs Sources: Occupational entries captured by the 2001 Census in electronic forms; collecting and classifying job titles Vacancy advertisement Job lists of big employers Proposals of experts, ministries etc.

Experience of 2001 Census Classification method of managers is too complicated Distinction between major group 2 and 3 is problematic Improving and actualizing of descriptions are needed Creation of new occupations are needed in IT occupations Business and finance occupations Occupations in public administration Occupations in media Quality assurance
