Occupations are classified by the stage of production and the type of utility created.

Map each occupation to its matching industrial/commercial branch.
Fish harvesting → Extractive; Building assembly → Constructive; Port customs clearance → Commercial auxiliary; Haircutting/barbering → Direct service.
