Abstract (may include machine translation)

In our work, we aim to create a comprehensive prestige scale based on the 2016 microcensus supplementary occupational prestige survey of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, in which each occupation is assigned a score that provides information on the relative prestige of each occupation. Furthermore, we create five additional scales that ranking occupations according to earnings, social utility, knowledge, power and fashionability. In this paper, we first briefly summarise the characteristics of the occupational prestige scales in relation to other gradual measures of social position, and then describe how the new prestige scale was created. We will then present the basic features of this new measure and – as illustrations – some examples of its use.
