Abstract: The Nam-Powers-Boyd Occupational Status Scale for the year 2000 is introduced here. It is the sixth in a decennial series of such scales initiated at the Census Bureau a half century earlier. The historical background of the 2000 scale, the methodology for constructing the scores, some comparisons with other occupational scales, the 2000 scores themselves, and applications of the 2000 scores are presented.
