This response searches for O*NET occupations using a word, phrase, or title. The closest matches are returned first.

If the service is called with a full or partial O*NET-SOC code, matching results are returned sorted by code. The relevance_score attribute is not present for code matches. If the given code is only found in a previous O*NET-SOC taxonomy, relevant occupations are returned from the current taxonomy.

The result list is paged, returning 20 occupations at a time by default. To navigate the full set of results, use the link rel="next" and link rel="prev" elements, or provide start and end parameters to jump directly to the desired results.
