The National Occupational Classification(NOC) replaces Canada's previous occupational classification systems, the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations(CCDO) and the closely-related 1980 Standard Occupational Classification(SOC) of Statistics Canada. The NOC presents a new structure for analyzing and understanding the labour market and reflects occupational changes that have taken place over the past two decades. It also addresses problems with the CCDO that became evident when it was used for economic analysis. For example, in the NOC, occupations that encompass a wide range of skill levels are not classified together in the same unit group as they are in the CCDO. 5, record 1, English, - National%20Occupational%20Classification

La Classification nationale des professions (CNP) remplace les systèmes de classification utilisés précédemment, soit la Classification canadienne descriptive des professions (CCDP) et la Classification type des professions (CTP) de Statistique Canada (édition de 1980), qui y est largement apparentée. La CNP offre une nouvelle structure à des fins d'analyse et de compréhension du marché du travail et reflète les changements qui se sont opérés au cours des deux dernières décennies. Elle aborde également les problèmes qui sont apparus évidents lorsque la CCDP était utilisée à des fins d'analyse économique. Par exemple, les professions qui couvrent un large éventail de niveaux de compétences, et qui étaient classées ensemble dans la CCDP, ne sont pas classées dans le même groupe de base de la CNP. 6, record 1, French, - Classification%20nationale%20des%20professions
