Canada classifies, describes, differentiates, and outlines jobs with the help of NOC system

[{"selector":"#anim-b28d144c-7af6-48d4-95a8-f0c6b0012129 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749886225716%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-768eb145-a55a-4561-bced-a844e3a4c3bb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.46540%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d78430c1-11d6-4ed1-a22f-43633b2a59ee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9badbf6-fd18-45e6-826c-bf81d689a1ac","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Each occupation classified under this system is given a unique number for categorization purposes

[{"selector":"#anim-654dd45a-eb4a-48eb-88d0-e41dcd62e2cc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-4.664052279439828%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8051fe3-5290-455a-9ad0-33225aa09ba0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.15181%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83ee1161-d3a6-46ba-ad68-015ef9815c24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a239894c-19a9-4bca-a4c2-c6801bcf0ef1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This number is referred to as the occupation’s NOC code
