McClain & Reardon (2015), Table 2. Employment in US census detailed occupations, each given the first letter of its Holland code, summed per type; the shares are as printed in the paper. These are shares of jobs, not of people’s interest types, and the data are not Korean.
These are shares of US jobs, each occupation counted under the first letter of its Holland code, not of people’s interest types, so they cannot be compared directly with the ranking above. The guide covers the study and how to read the numbers.

It is not the share of each type in the population, and the numbers count entries, not people. Entries are anonymous and unverified, so automated ones may be mixed in. A test’s ranking appears only after at least 30 entries. The ranking updates every few minutes.
