How this service works
Resolve an occupation title to ranked SOC candidates, each with the SOC code, official title and a match score. The cheap first step before a prevailing-wage determination when only a job title is known.
Output
Returns a ranked list of SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) candidates matching the input occupation title. Each candidate includes the SOC code (e.g. 15-1252), the official BLS/DOL occupation title, and a numeric match score indicating relevance. Results are ordered from best to worst match, limited by the requested number of candidates (default 10, max 25).
Example use cases
H-1B prevailing wage research
“Before I do a prevailing wage lookup, can you find the best matching SOC codes for 'Full Stack Developer'? Show me the top 5 candidates so I can pick the right one.”
HR job posting compliance
“We're posting a job for a 'Logistics Coordinator' and need the official SOC classification. Can you give me the ranked SOC code matches for that title?”
Workforce analytics occupational mapping
“I have a list of internal job titles and need to map them to standard occupational codes. Start with 'Data Governance Analyst' — what are the top SOC candidates and their scores?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/wage/occupationsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint as the first step in any prevailing-wage determination workflow when you only have a free-text job title and need the correct SOC code. It is cheaper and faster than full wage lookups, making it ideal for narrowing down classification before committing to a more expensive wage query. Prefer this over manual SOC code lookup tables when the job title is non-standard or ambiguous.
Side effects
- Missing required 'occupation' query parameter returns a validation error
- Very obscure or highly specialized job titles may return low match scores or few candidates
- Ambiguous titles (e.g. 'Manager') may return many candidates with similar scores making selection difficult
- Limit parameter outside 1-25 range returns an error
- Network or service downtime returns a non-200 status
