Overview
Mission
The Office of Employment Projections develops information about the labor market for the Nation as a
whole for 10 years in the future: labor force trends by sex, race or Hispanic origin, and
age; employment trends by industry and occupation; and the implications of these data for
employment opportunities for specific groups in the labor force, such as youth, the disadvantaged,
and college graduates. Assessments are also made of the effect on employment of specified changes
in economic conditions and/or changes in Federal programs and policies. The information developed
is used in career guidance, education planning and policy formulation. This information is
published in the Occupational Outlook Handbook,
Occupational Outlook Quarterly, and the
Monthly Labor Review.
