2006-07 Occupational Outlook Handbook
The 2006-07 editions of the Occupational Outlook Handbook and the Career
Guide to Industries were issued on the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Internet site. Print versions of both publications are expected to be available
in Spring 2006.
The Occupational Outlook Handbook, published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, has been a nationally recognized source of
career information since the late 1940s. The Career Guide to Industries was
developed as a companion publication to the Handbook in the early 1990s. These
publications provide comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable labor market
information that has helped millions of Americans plan their future work lives.
The 2006-07 editions will help guide workers in the new century by presenting
essential information about prospective changes in the workplace and the
qualifications that will be needed by tomorrow's workforce. The Handbook and
the Career Guide can be accessed on the Internet.
