I couldn't find a Principle 9.  However, I did stumble across the link below:

http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc2010responses.htm

If you click on that link, there is another link which takes you to the following:

www.bls.gov/soc/soc2010final.pdf

If you scroll down to page 6 there is an "Appendix A:  Classification Principles."  There is even a Principle 9 which reads as follows:

"The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau are charged with collecting and reporting data on total U.S. employment across the full spectrum of SOC major groups.  Thus, for a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and report data on that occupation."

Could this be the Principle 9 they were referring to?  I dare anyone to tell me what this means.  So, since RIM is not a major group and the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau only collect information on major groups, we don't collect information on RIM?!  Since we aren't going to collect said information, RIM is therefore not a major group!

OK, now my head hurts.  That's what I get for reading the FR so early on a Monday morning.

Thanks, Steve
