How often do we have to update O*NET data in the Workforce Information Database(WID)?
Relatively little O*NET information is included in the WID(an ONETCODE lookup table and a few crosswalk tables). This was done by design. The O*NET database is updated on a regular basis. These changes frequently result in changes to that database’s table structures and content. The Anaylyst Resource Center (ARC) has designed O*NET table structures that are compatible in format and content with the WID, so that the WID won’t require changes when the O*NET database changes. For links to O*NET databases that can be used with the WID, visit the National Crosswalk Service Center’s Non-Standard WID page.
