The Bureau of Labor Statistics

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, a part of the U.S. Department of Labor, publishes and maintains a volume entitled the Occupational Outlook Handbook. “The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a nationally recognized source of career information, designed to provide valuable assistance to individuals making decisions about their future work lives. The Handbook is revised every two years” (BLS, 2013).

Select any three occupations of your choice from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH). A complete list of occupations is available at:

Based on your findings from the OOH, write a brief summary of the median earnings, number of current jobs, and projected job creation for the future for your selected occupations. Your completed assignment should be approximately 1 page in length and should be in MS-Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) format.
