Mapping of Duguid occupation codes to HISCO. Here's a quick take on it:
AG Agriculture.....................HISCO major group 6 - Agricultural, Animal Husbandry And Forestry Workers, Fishermen And Hunters
BT Building Trades.................HISCO minor group 95 - Bricklayers, Carpenters and Other Construction Workers
CM Civil and Municipal.............HISCO minor group 20 - Legislative Officials and Government Administrators
CL Clerical........................HISCO major group 3 - Clerical And Related Workers
DP Domestic and personal services..HISCO major group 5 - Service Workers
EF Engineers, Firemen..............HISCO minor group 98 - Transport Equipment Operators
FR Forestry........................HISCO minor group 63 - Forestry Workers
HF Hunting and fishing.............HISCO minor group 64 - Fishermen, Hunters and Related Workers
LA Labourers.......................HISCO minor group 99 - Labourers Not Elsewhere Classified
MA Manufacturing...................HISCO major groups 7/8/9 - Production And Related Workers
ME Mechanics.......................HISCO major group 8 - Production And Related Workers, Transport Equipment Operators And Labourers
TR Mercantile......................HISCO major group 4 - Sales Workers
MI Mining..........................HISCO minor group 71 - Miners, Quarrymen, Well Drillers and Related Workers
PE Printers, Engravers.............HISCO minor group 92 - Printers and Related Workers
PR Professional....................HISCO major groups 0/1 - Professional, Technical And Related Workers
ST Students........................?
TN Transportation..................HISCO minor group 98 - Transport Equipment Operators
OU Other...........................?
NA Unknown.........................?
UN Not Specified...................?

On this level of granularity, HISCO offers the following:
[0/1] Professional, Technical And Related Workers
[2] Administrative And Managerial Workers
[3] Clerical And Related Workers
[4] Sales Workers
[5] Service Workers
[6] Agricultural, Animal Husbandry And Forestry Workers, Fishermen And Hunters
[7/8/9] Production And Related Workers, Transport Equipment Operators And Labourers

I think the real value of the HISCO coding is at the next level down, though. For each bold heading we have minor groups that we will be able to sort on. So, we can search specifically for jewellers and find people that attested as jeweller, goldsmith, silversmith, whitesmith, etc.
