They usually refer to the Department of Labor’s Standard Occupational Classification system (http://www.bls.gov/soc/). They consider multiple factors including, but not limited to the job duties at both positions as well as wages. They will use several other factors and determine if they are the same or similar, but are usually generous in their determination.
