Occupational Status

Occupational status refers to a person’s position or rank within the workforce, often reflecting their job's prestige, level of responsibility, and skills required. It helps to identify the role someone plays in the economy, such as whether they are a manager, a skilled tradesperson, or an entry-level worker.
