Are you aware that there are already many clasifications and scales of
occupations? I realize that you are not going to like the following
statement, but I don't see much reason to reinvent yet another
clasification. For instance, take a look at -findit isko- and
-findit isco- for some Stata implementations of some existing scales
and clasifications.
