Enhanced Occupational Outlook Handbook
This book presents reliable and useful information about occupations in a way not
available in the past. Its concept is simple: It allows you to identify major jobs of
interest and then read details about those jobs and the many more-specialized jobs related
to them.
This edition of the Enhanced Occupational Outlook Handbook combines job descriptions
from three important sources by the U.S. Department of Labor:
• Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), 2004–2005 Edition
• Occupational Information Network (O*NET)
• Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT)
Each of these sources is widely used by professionals, students, job seekers, and many
others, but until we created this book, it was most difficult to juggle information from
all three sources.
Although this book is big and appears complex, we have made it very easy to use:
1. Use the Table of Contents to find one or more jobs that interest you. The Table
of Contents arranges more than 270 major jobs from the Occupational Outlook
Handbook into clusters of related jobs. For example, in the Management and Business
and Financial Operations Occupations cluster, you will find the job “Accountants and
Auditors.” Or use the indexes to find jobs alphabetically.
2. Turn to the page number listed for the complete job description as presented
in the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
3. Following this are descriptions of related jobs from the O*NET. For the
Accountants and Auditors title, you will find separate O*NET descriptions for
“Accountants” and “Auditors.”
4. Next are descriptions for even more specific jobs from the DOT. For Accountants
and Auditors, the more-specialized DOT descriptions include Accountant; Accountant,
Budget; Accountant, Cost; Accountant, Property; Accountant, Systems; Accountant, Tax;
Auditor; Auditor, County or City; Auditor, Internal; Auditor, Tax; Bursar; and Director,
Utility Accounts.
This arrangement allows you to quickly find jobs that interest you and then see the many
specialized jobs that are closely related.
We hope you make good use of this new edition. Previous editions have become a
standard reference in libraries, classrooms, and many other places where people plan their
careers, education, training, and lives.
