Your Tax Dollars At Work
One of my favorite sites about employment, job forecasts, and earnings is the Bureau Of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook. This is a free online publication put out by the US Dept. Of Labor.

This site is a wealth of information right at your finger tips. For hundreds of different types of jobs, the Occupational Outlook Handbook gives you job specific information on:

If you are researching a new career, put in the keyword of job title and equip yourself with the information you need to decide if this is the right career for you. If you are considering a new job or asking for a raise, this site can help you when you take into account the normal working conditions and earnings.
