Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2012–13 Edition

News release: “The redesigned Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2012–13 Edition was released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The OOH reflects the Bureau’s 2010-20 employment projections which were released on February 1, 2012. Considered the nation’s most widely used source of career information, the OOH continues to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on hundreds of occupations. The information in the OOH has proven invaluable to counselors, students, parents, teachers, jobseekers, career changers, education and training officials, and researchers…The 341 occupational profiles cover 536 detailed occupations, or 84.8 percent of total employment. The 2012-13 OOH contains individual profiles for many occupations that were either covered in groups, covered in abbreviated profiles, or not covered in detail in the prior edition.”
