Properties You Can Include

Occupation schema supports the following schema.org properties. Required fields are the minimum Google needs to consider your markup valid; recommended fields unlock richer search result appearances.

Property	Description	Expected Type	Status
additionalType	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.	Text, URL	Optional
alternateName	An alias for the item.	Text	Optional
description	A description of the item.	Text, TextObject	Optional
disambiguatingDescription	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.	Text	Optional
educationRequirements	Educational background needed for the position or Occupation.	EducationalOccupationalCredential, Text	Optional
estimatedSalary	An estimated salary for a job posting or occupation, based on a variety of variables including, but not limited to industry, job title, and location. Estimated salaries are often computed by outside organizations rather than the hiring organization, who may not have committed to the estimated value.	MonetaryAmount, MonetaryAmountDistribution, Number	Optional
experienceRequirements	Description of skills and experience needed for the position or Occupation.	OccupationalExperienceRequirements, Text	Optional
identifier	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.	PropertyValue, Text, URL	Optional
image	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.	ImageObject, URL	Recommended
mainEntityOfPage	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) for details.	CreativeWork, URL	Optional
name	The name of the item.	Text	Required
occupationalCategory	A category describing the job, preferably using a term from a taxonomy such as [BLS ONET-SOC](http://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html), [ISCO-08](https://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco08/) or similar, with the property repeated for each applicable value. Ideally the taxonomy should be identified, and both the textual label and formal code for the category should be provided.\n Note: for historical reasons, any textual label and formal code provided as a literal may be assumed to be from ONET-SOC.	CategoryCode, Text	Optional
occupationLocation	The region/country for which this occupational description is appropriate. Note that educational requirements and qualifications can vary between jurisdictions.	AdministrativeArea	Optional
owner	A person or organization who owns this Thing.	Organization, Person	Optional
potentialAction	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.	Action	Optional
qualifications	Specific qualifications required for this role or Occupation.	Credential, Text	Optional
responsibilities	Responsibilities associated with this role or Occupation.	Text	Optional
sameAs	URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.	URL	Optional
skills	A statement of knowledge, skill, ability, task or any other assertion expressing a competency that is either claimed by a person, an organization or desired or required to fulfill a role or to work in an occupation.	DefinedTerm, Text	Optional
subjectOf	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.	CreativeWork, Event	Optional
