SOC-91 JEM added

SOC-91 Version of the Asthma-specific Job Exposure Matrix:
A new version of the asthma-specific job exposure matrix (JEM) has been created for a different set of job codes. This new version of the JEM uses the Standard Occupational Classification 1991 system (SOC-91) for the ‘job’ axis, in contrast to the original JEM which uses the ILO International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88). There are no cross-walks available for transferring between the ISCO-88 and the SOC-91 job codes, so the revised SOC-91 JEM has been created by matching each SOC-91 job code to one or more ISCO-88 job codes based on the job titles and descriptions. The SOC-91 JEM follows the same criteria as the original ISCO-88 JEM, with a few changes, as a result of job code matching. If the SOC-91 JEM version is requested when filling out the brief form on the “Download Matrix Files” page, an instructions document will be provided with the SOC-91 version of the JEM. The SOC-91 job codes can be obtained from Statistics Canada.
