ASCO Codes

The Australian Standard Classification of Occupations Coding Index is a registered setup by the Australian Bureau of Statistics to identify and classify types of occupations, and is used for statistical reporting purposes (e.g. to establish the number of people who occupy different types of occupations). ASCO codes can be defined and extracted to produce relevant government reports.
