Detailed List of All Federal Occupational Work Groups
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has established a series of occupational groups that are used to classify the various types of civil service positions. These classifications are subdivided into more specific categories based on the subject matter of the work being performed, the level of difficulty and responsibility, and the qualification requirements needed to correctly perform the work.
The Federal Occupational Work Group classification system was established to ensure equitable pay and compensation for positions within an occupational group. Occupational groups have been established for both white collar and blue collar positions. The following is a list of occupational groups (bold type) and the specific series within each group.
