The Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy (LOT) is an advanced framework developed to classify and
organize occupations with high precision and relevance to real-world labor market data. With
over 1,800 specialized occupations in its library, it is designed to address the evolving
nature of job roles captured from postings and professional profiles.
As we move up in the hierarchy, subsections are exclusive to their associated category. In
other words, each specialized occupation is unique to its occupation, each occupation is
unique to its occupation group, and each occupation group is unique to its career area. This
prevents duplicate or overlapping data when analyzing more than one occupation.
