Occupational Outlook Handbook

Published every two years the Occupational Outlook Handbook, more commonly known as the OOH, is the most complete and up-to-date document for national occupational information. The 250 occupations covered in the OOH accounts for nearly 90% of the jobs in the United States' economy. The information includes such topics as: Nature of the Work; Working Conditions; Employment; Training and Other Qualifications; and Advancement; Job Outlook; Earnings; Related Occupations; and Sources of Additional Information.

General statements about the employment and economic outlook of the US are included in the section "Tomorrow's Jobs," a must-read section for anyone in the process of planning their career or professionals who are assisting career planners.
