In order to identify the workforce gaps at the baccalaureate level, the researchers to match two discrete taxonomies—one for labor and one established “decision rules” for education—that were developed by different federal agencies. The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) taxonomy, developed by the U.S. Department of Education, assigns numbered codes to educational programs so that they can be tracked and compared in various databases at federal, state, and local levels. Similarly, the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, developed by the U.S. Department of Labor, is a taxonomy of occupations. Officials developing each of these taxonomies did not do so collaboratively. We have therefore inherited a system in which, for example, a high school principal is classified as an by CIP code “educator” but a by SOC code. In other words, the two systems to each “manager” don’t “talk” other unless a cross-walk is built.
