This is the only reference book that combines the three most valuable and authoritative sources of occupational information: the 2004-2005 OOH job descriptions, plus related job descriptions from the O*NET and the dictionary of occupational titles (DOT)
In addition to updated data from the 1998-1999 Occupational Outlook Handbook, this new edition adds key information from the very latest occupational resource--The Occupational Information Network, known as O'NET. Millions of job seekers and career changers make this reference their choice for comprehensive job information.
Job seekers, students, and others doing in-depth career research can access information on nearly 8,000 jobs in one current, convenient book. With more job descriptions than in any other career reference, the best-selling Enhanced Occupational Outlook Handbook provides a practical way to obtain and use the information from the three most authoritative occupational data sources. It includes the complete text of the latest Occupational Outlook Handbook by the U.S. Department of Labor, plus related job descriptions from the government's latest O*NET database and from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. Readers learn about all of their career options in one resource. Now in its all-new seventh edition, the EOOH is easy to use because it's organized by clusters of related jobs - the same user-friendly structure as in the OOH. Readers doing career research and planning also learn the latest details on earnings, job growth, education and skills required, working conditions, employment trends, and more. A new appendix organizes all the OOH jobs by personality codes so readers can easily find related job descriptions after using any career assessment based on Holland's six personality types (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional).
Provides over 6,500 job descriptions and includes information on the nature of the job, working conditions, employment figures, training required, job outlook, and earnings.
Contains detailed descriptions of over 250 major occupations in the U.S. economy, discussing the nature of the work, working conditions, job requirements, employment outlook, and earnings potential; each followed by brief information about similar occupations.
For the past 50 years, the Occupational Outlook Handbook has been the most widely used and trusted source of occupational information -- anywhere! JIST's edition is a complete reprint of the original!
