Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Agricultural Workers, All Other

Agricultural workers classified as “all other” typically have responsibilities that fall outside of the scope of more specialized agricultural occupations, such as farming or ranching. They may be involved in a wide range of tasks related to the production of food and other agricultural products, including planting and harvesting crops, caring for animals, and maintaining equipment and facilities. While agricultural workers may not directly work in the healthcare industry, their work can have a significant impact on public health. Agricultural practices and policies can have a major impact on the safety and quality of the food that people consume, and a strong understanding of these topics is essential for ensuring the health and well-being of the general population. Agricultural workers may also be involved in the production of pharmaceuticals or other health-related products that are derived from agricultural sources. In these ways, agricultural workers can help to ensure the health and well-being of the general population.
