I am looking for data sets on occupational prestige ratings that have been collected since 2000 and cover at least 30 occupations.
I am only interested in prestige, not socio-economic status, trustworthiness, social utility and similar variables.

General Social Survey (GSS – USA) The GSS includes occupational prestige scores using the NORC prestige scale. It covers a wide range of occupations and has data from 2000 onward. You can access the data at: https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/ European Social Survey (ESS) While it includes more general occupational and social status indicators, certain waves have prestige-related variables. Worth exploring for European datasets. https://www.europeansocialsurvey.org/ International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) Some modules, such as "Social Inequality", have included occupation-related prestige perceptions. https://issp.org/ Data Repositories to Explore Harvard Dataverse (https://dataverse.harvard.edu/) ICPSR (https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/) Try keywords like "occupational prestige" + "post-2000" or "prestige ratings by occupation."
Hello,
That’s an interesting area of research! Finding datasets specifically focused on occupational prestige (and not broader socio-economic indicators) can be a bit challenging, especially for data collected after 2000.
Here are a few suggestions that may help:
If you’re looking for a global or cross-national comparison, you might also look into the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) system, sometimes paired with prestige ratings in secondary research.
