What's a good career for you?

Find out with the Occupational Outlook Handbook!

Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2014-15 edition. Reference Section HF 5381 A1 O36 2014-15

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is an annual publication of the U.S. Department of Labor and the information in it is updated each year.

It is “a career resource offering information on the hundreds of occupations that provide the overwhelming majority of jobs in the United States. Each occupational profile describes the duties required by the occupation, the work environment of that occupation, the typical education and training needed to enter the occupation, the median pay for workers in the occupation, and the job outlook into the next 10 years for that occupation."

The information provided for each occupation is comprehensive and current, and users should find the required education and training section and the job outlook section included in each occupation description particularly helpful.

You can find this up-to-date resource in the Reference Section of the Library. Stop at the reference desk and ask the librarian for assistance.
