The final step in the O*Net code upgrade release

As you may know, as of March 1st, LinkUp implemented the O*NET 2019 Taxonomy which supports the O*NET databases 25.1 through the latest release. This change will now allow our job records to match with modern job categories and titles (e.g. data scientist and cyber security).

Removing the O*Net field from our daily job records file is the last part of this upgrade. To allow for migration planning and time, LinkUp will produce both versions of the daily job records file—the current version and the new version (minus the O*Net column)—from August 1st through September 31st, 2022. A timeline for the next O*Net updates is included below.

Current state through July 31st:

• Daily job records file will continue to be updated with the O*Net 2010 field
• Daily 2010 Taxonomy file
• Daily 2019 Taxonomy file

• Full 2010 Taxonomy file
• Full 2019 Taxonomy file
• Full job records file with the O*Net 2010 field

August 1st through September 30th:

• Daily Job records file with the O*Net 2010 field
• Daily Job records file without the O*Net field
• Daily 2010 Taxonomy file
• Daily 2019 Taxonomy file

• Full 2010 Taxonomy file
• Full 2019 Taxonomy file
• Full job records file with the O*Net 2010 field
• Full job records file without the O*Net 2010 field

On October 1st:

• Daily Job records file without the O*Net field
• Daily 2019 Taxonomy file

• Full 2019 Taxonomy file
• Full job records file without the O*Net 2010 field. From this point forward, we will no longer provide the O*Net 2010 field in the job records file.

For a description of the format of these files, please refer to our knowledge base article. Additional information on the O*Net-SOC 2019 Taxonomy can be found on the O*Net website. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.

Bug fix: Historical delete dates missing on inactive jobs

We’ve fixed a bug where for a very small number of jobs are missing a delete date, even though they are no longer active jobs. This impacts about 57,000 jobs. These updated records will appear in the May full files.

Bug fix: Correcting inconsistent values for unmapped location

The values for the unmapped location field on the job records files are not consistent between the daily files and the full files. The May full files will be updated to True/False.
