Add function to return the level of a classification? #69

Open daviddiviny opened 2 years ago

daviddiviny commented 2 years ago

I was thinking that for example, this function would return the highest level (or all levels) for which a classification of an occupation exists.

For example: find_anzsco_level("Chief Executives, General Managers and Legislators") would return Sub-Major Group

I love this idea. Should work so long as there's no duplicates, right?

daviddiviny commented 2 years ago

What do you mean duplicates? Some classifications exist at multiple levels, e.g. Chief Executives, General Managers and Legislators but I think it should return the highest level by default, with an option to return all levels?

Probably easily done in parallel with #50 so you can just filter?

MattCowgill commented 2 years ago

Yep that's what I meant, classifications that exist at multiple levels. Returning the highest level by default makes sense... maybe with a message to inform the user that there are multiple matching levels?

daviddiviny commented 2 years ago

I think the underlying data would look like this. What do you think the function should return?

code occupation level
1 Managers Major Group
2 Professionals Major Group
3 Technicians And Trades Workers Major Group
4 Community And Personal Service Workers Major Group
5 Clerical And Administrative Workers Major Group
6 Sales Workers Major Group

Perhaps a character vector ordered finest level to broadest. That way you would always know what the position in the vector means.

There is an issue where the ANZSCO6 is singular, but other levels are plural...
