Developed from selected studies made by State Employment Services, this directory provides current local occupational information for use in designing training programs, for counseling in public employment offices and schools, and for individual jobseekers and vocational counselors. Three sections are devoted to occupational guides listed by occupational group broken down by occupation within each group, by job title and by states. These guides are cross-indexed by occupation and area and provide a summary of the job duties, training and experience requirements, training facilities, and employment aspects for a single occupation or group of occupations. A listing of occupational guidance publications dated from 1954-1969 provides information on occupations in a particular industry or job field that could not be listed under specific job titles. Finally, a listing of 286 area occupational projection surveys provides information on current employment and future labor requirements, generally 2 to 5 years ahead, in individual labor areas. An earlier edition is available as ED 016 088 or MP 000 217. (SB)
