The new LC Demographic Group Terms may be a vocabulary we can use once it
has been established (by the end of 2014 or early 2015). However, the
vocabulary will be broader in scope than just occupations and professions:
it will include terms covering gender, religion, sexual orientation,
social groups, and others as well. The announcement is at
http://www.loc.gov/ala/mw-2014-update.html - search for the word
"Demographic" to find the announcement in the document.
