What is ANZSCO? What is LOT?

Updated over 4 months ago

ANZSCO is the Australian New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupation. ANZSCO is an occupation taxonomy developed in conjunction between the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and Statistics New Zealand. This taxonomy was developed in order to improve the comparability of occupation statistics collected within Australia and New Zealand.

LOT (Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy) is Lightcast's own proprietary occupation taxonomy. This taxonomy was created in order to improve the comparability of occupation statistics between the labour markets that Lightcast provides data for. This universal taxonomy reduces errors by removing the need for taxonomical translation, which helps facilitate international analysis.
