About OOQ Online
OOQ Online is based on the print periodical Occupational Outlook Quarterly and mirrors its print counterpart.
To make the best use of the medium, OOQ Online gives you the opportunity to read a "nutshell" description or a "snippet" from each OOQ article before you download the full text of the article.
Nutshells and snippets are provided in the standard language of the Web, HTML. They are meant for online reading. The full text of each article is available in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). The PDF files are not designed for online reading; instead, we provide them so that users may print copies that will be substantially easier to read on paper than they would be to read online. PDF files also retain the layout and page numbering of the printed article, so they can be used to make or follow bibliographic references.
OOQ Online includes an index of online articles published in print starting with Spring 1999. In addition, a 5-year index for articles in print is available.
OOQ provides practical information on jobs and careers. Articles are written in straightforward, non-technical language and cover a wide variety of career and work-related topics such as new and emerging occupations, training opportunities, salary trends, and results of new studies from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
