Every occupation DOL's published files name has a page of its own, even one with a single case.
Occupations are grouped by the title DOL prints, but the six-digit SOC code underneath is what the filings actually join on, and DOL writes the same code two ways: 15-1252.00 on most rows and 15-1252 on the rest. Both spellings are pooled here, which is worth about a quarter of the cases on a busy occupation.
