THE 2016-17 OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK
The 2016–17 Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) was
released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The OOH reflects BLS
employment projections for the 2014–24 decade. The OOH is one of the nation’s
most widely used sources of career information. It provides details on hundreds
of occupations and is used by career counselors, students, parents, teachers, jobseekers,
career changers, education and training officials, and researchers.
The OOH is available online at www.bls.gov/ooh.
OOH Profiles
The 2016–17 OOH includes 329 occupational profiles
covering 576 detailed occupations, or about 83 percent of total employment in
2014. Each occupational profile describes: what workers do, where they work,
typical education and training requirements, wages, job outlook, state and area
data, and contacts for more information.
A detailed description about the information included in
OOH profiles is available at
www.bls.gov/ooh/about/occupational-information-included-in-the-ooh.htm.
New in the 2016–17 OOH
Each occupational profile in the 2016-17 OOH includes a
new State and Area Data tab with links to occupational profiles from the
Occupational Employment Statistics survey. Users can access etailed national,
state, and metropolitan or nonmetropolitan employment and wage data for their
selected occupation.
The new tab also provides a link to state occupational
projections available at www.projectionscentral.com. State occupational
employment projections are developed
for all states by Labor Market Information (LMI) offices.
Information on this site allows users to compare projected occupational
employment growth among states or within one state.
