Message from the Secretary of Labor

The rules for competing in a technologically-advanced global economy are changing everyday. The jobs of the future and the challenges posed by global competitiveness will require a skilled American workforce that can quickly adapt to a changing workplace.

The Occupational Outlook Handbook, the Government's premier publication on career guidance, provides essential information about prospective changes in the world of work and the qualifications that will be needed by tomorrow's workers.
