The Occupational Outlook Handbook Question

 

The U.S. Department Of Labor, Bureau Of Labor Statistics, hosts an amazing web site called, “The Occupational Outlook Handbook.”

Here’s a link to that site: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ (Links to an external site.)

Go to the OOH site and do the following:

  1. On the OOH homepage, in the left column, “Occupation Groups,” select a category OUTSIDE of your current occupation.
  2. Once on that Occupation Group page, select a specific occupation to explore.
  3. Look at the information under the “Summary” tab for the specific occupation you selected.
  4. Submit the following information for this occupation:
    1. Median pay
    2. Entry-level education
    3. Number of jobs
    4. Job outlook
    5. Employment change

Once you have submitted this summary information about the occupation, please write your thoughts on whether you think this would be a good occupational area for someone to pursue and explain why, or why not.
