About the ranks and confidence (AI summary)
Ranks compare occupations on median total income and average schooling, using the paper’s country-adjusted benchmarks for the nearest available birth cohort. They describe occupations, not individual parents’ earnings or education.
Confidence is high when alternative classifications differ by at most 10 percentile points on both measures, and medium when they differ more.
