- Adding those persons who work in occupations related to the Armed Forces to other categories.

- El fichero nacional incluye la ocupación y la actividad a 3 dígitos de la persona, de la persona de referencia, del padre, de la madre y del cónyuge, mientras que los provinciales las incluyen a solo 2 dígitos
- Para salvaguardar el secreto estadístico en los ficheros nacionales ha sido necesario eliminar la identificación geográfica (CPRO,CMUN,NSS y HUECO) y agregar a otras ocupaciones las Fuerzas Armadas
