SingStat introduces new changes to the SOCC 2024

New occupations have been added to 3 units.

The revised SSOC 2024 introduced new occupations under the 3-digit, 4-digit, and 5-digit groups, with 1, 1, and 4 additions respectively.

The Singapore Standard Occupational Classification (SSOC) is the national standard for classifying occupations and is used for censuses of population, household surveys and administrative databases.

In SSOC 2024, the terms “skill specialisation” and “skill level” were also replaced by “broad job specialisation” and “broad job level” respectively.

The SSOC 2024 update also introduces new roles in Infocomm Technology, the Green Economy, and other areas not previously covered in the SSOC 2022 codes while some occupations across major groups and unit groups have been reclassified due to evolving job responsibilities.

“Social Services, Counselling and Related Professionals” was also added to the three-digit group while about 20 SSOC codes, mainly under Major Groups 7 and 8, have been removed or merged due to obsolete or low employment counts.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
