What Is an Occupation Thesaurus?

It feels like its missing few in the A’s Anthropologists and Archeologists and Musuem person. The ones you do have feel like they dom’t suit it for what I’m looking for.
Hi Shani,
With occupations, we had to make tough choices. The reality is there are hundreds of thousands of occupations, and we couldn’t cover them all, so we tried to create a broad range that would hopefully be helpful enough to get writers thinking about how they can customize close entries to fit what they need. We also include a blank entry template so writers can create their own entry if they wish. I hope this will help you. 🙂 Happy writing!
