Implementing ANZSCO in the Household Labour Force Survey provides additional detail on the use of a new occupation classification in the Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS). In November 2009, occupation results from the September 2009 quarter HLFS will be published using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). Previous occupation results from the HLFS were based on the New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (NZSCO99).
This information paper discusses the major changes to industrial groupings resulting from the use of ANZSCO, and how these changes affect the HLFS. The implementation process for the new classification is also summarised. The paper includes a table showing the contribution of NZSCO occupation divisions to ANZSCO occupation divisions, based on dual run results.
Statistics New Zealand welcomes comments about this paper. It is being released to support the HLFS results in November 2009, and to better inform users on the differences between NZSCO99 and ANZSCO.
