OCCUPO was collected at the time of the ATUS interview. Occupation information for the respondent's main job was also collected at the time of the final CPS interview, 2-5 months before the ATUS interview.

If users are interested in more detailed occupational codes, they can reference the ATUS-X OCC variable which reports the four-digit US Census occupational code for the respondent's main job. This would require merging ATUS-X data with MTUS-X data.
