Will you hire me or provide information on a specific job for me
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) hires primarily economists, mathematical statisticians, and computer specialists. Information on jobs with the BLS and how to apply for them may be found at http://www.bls.gov/bls/jobshome.htm.
Additional career information is available at America's Career InfoNet at http://www.acinet.org/acinet/. Information on job search methods and addresses of local sources of information is available in the Sources of Career Information section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook at http://www.bls.gov/oco/oco2002.htm.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you should check immigration rules with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (http://uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm) before attempting to get a job in the United States.
*
How can I learn of an occupation or industry that is of interest to me
The Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) provides information on nature of work; working conditions; employment; training, advancement, and other qualifications; job outlook; earnings; related occupations; and sources of additional information for over 250 different occupations covering 7 out of 8 jobs in the economy. The OOH is available at http://www.bls.gov/oco/. Occupations may be searched both in the index or in the table of contents.
The Career Guide to industries (CGI) provides similar information as found in the OOH: nature of the industry; working conditions; employment; occupations in the industry; training and advancement; earnings; and sources of additional information for over 40 different industries covering 2 out of 3 wage and salary jobs in the economy.
The CGI is available at http://www.bls.gov/oco/cg/.
Both the OOH and CGI are broken up into clusters. In order to find an occupation or industry, browse the clusters of interest. There is also an index if you know the specific occupation or industry.
*
What if I can't find the occupation I'm interested in
Many occupations and job titles are included within occupations that are covered in the Occupational Outlook Handbook. If you cannot find an occupation you are interested in, look under the alphabetical index using alternate or similar occupational titles to search for an occupation. Also, the Occupational Outlook Quarterly, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, publishes articles on some occupations and other fields that are not covered in the Handbook or Career Guide to Industries. Recent issues of the Occupational Outlook Quarterly are available online at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ooq/ooqhome.htm.
*
What occupation would be best for me
The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide specific career guidance advice. Nevertheless, most Occupational Outlook Handbook statements do give general guidance on the education and training needed to enter occupations. The outlook sections of occupations of interest to you also should be consulted.
America's Career Info Net at http://www.acinet.org/acinet/library.htm category=1.5 has links to career guidance associations and services.
*
Do you have employment information or projections for States or local areas
The Bureau of Labor Statistics develops projections only for the Nation as a whole. Almost all States make projections for their States and some local areas. These projections are available at www.projectionscentral.com. In addition, current employment data by occupation for States and areas are available from the Occupational Employment Statistics survey at http://www.bls.gov/oes/. Employment by industry by States and areas is available from the Current Employment Statistics survey at http://www.bls.gov/sae/. Local area unemployment statistics are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/.
*
Where can I find more detailed data
The Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections home page at http://www.bls.gov/emp/ has a great deal of data on and links to projected employment by occupation and industry. It also has links to data on the projected labor force, industry output, earnings, education and training data, data on the aggregate economy, and the National Employment Matrix, which, for each occupation,provides base year and projected employment by each industry, and for each industry, provides base year and projected employment by detailed occupation.
You will find data on employment by detailed occupation, sex, race, and hispanic origin at ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/lf/aat11.txt. These data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population survey, a survey of households. The Current Population Survey data uses a different occupational classification from the Occupational Employment Statistics survey that is the primary source of employment data for the Occupational Outlook Handbook, so the coverage of some occupations may not match.
Data on unemployment, prices, and other labor statistics-related topics are available through the Bureau of Labor Statistics home page at http://www.bls.gov/.
*
I don't think my employer is treating me fairly. What can I do
Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not have any information regarding your legal employment rights, America's Career Info Net has links to Department of Labor and labor law sites at http://www.acinet.org/acinet/library.htm category=2.5 and from the Department of Labor at http://www.dol.gov/compliance/.
