Learn about the nature of the work, the projections for employment, median earnings (nationally), related careers and more.

Two of the best known national resources are the Occupational Outlook Handbook and ONET OnLine. They are published by the US Department of Labor. Revised every two years, the Handbook describes what workers do on the job, the education and training required, earnings and expected job prospects for a wide range of occupations. Onet provides descriptions of the tasks, tools and technologies, knowledge, skills, abilities and work activities for many occupations.
