Agriculture
Specific interest area · O*NET
Agriculture is a specific interest area in the O*NET database, part of the Realistic Holland family. O*NET describes it as: "Work involves planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops, plants, or trees, or raising farm animals. Work can also involve preparing plant and animal products for distribution to consumers, or protecting natural resources to maximize their use in farming." It is scored for 891 occupations, which average 1.20 out of 7 on the Occupational Interest scale.
How it's measured
O*NET scores each occupation on this interest on a 0–7 Occupational Interest (OI) scale, where higher means the work more strongly rewards this interest. The figures here are those occupation-level scores — a description of what kind of work each job involves, not a ranking of which job is better, harder, or higher-paid.
| Economy-wide average | 1.20 / 7 | Mean across all 891 scored occupations |
| Range across occupations | 1.00–7.00 | Lowest to highest occupation score (spread 6.00) |
| Prevalence vs. other interests | 14th pct | Where this interest's average ranks among all O*NET interest dimensions |
Occupations that fit this interest best
The occupations that score this interest strongest on the 0–7 scale.
