The occupational structure of a society can be summarized with indicators of the work tasks involved and the requirements of their performance. Tasks are indicated by work oriented towards people, data and things, respectively, while the skill level of jobs is indicated by educational requirements. On the basis of data from the Swedish Level of Living Survey (LNU) 2010 we find that the work content indicators form a two-dimensional structural space. A vertical axis has high-skill work and data or management tasks at one end and low-skill work and production tasks at the other end. A horizontal axis has relational (people-oriented) work at one end and production (things-oriented) work at the other end and is unrelated to skill level. These two dimensions are strongly tied to class (vertical axis) and gender (horizontal axis), although standard class categories and sex distributions are not included among the indicators forming the space.
