Hello, I understand that n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified, but I’m curious what this notation means for occupation, such as OCC1950 code 93 is ‘Teachers (n.e.c.)’. How should this be interpreted? ---

If you search the labels for “teacher,” you’ll find the following codes for [OCC1950](https://cps.ipums.org/cps-action/variables/OCC1950#codes_section): 004 Artists and art teachers 031 Dancers and dancing teachers 057 Musicians and music teachers Teachers (N.E.C.) should contain all other teachers. Other occupation codes with N.E.C. will have a similar pattern.
