State and Local Information

The Handbook provides information for the Nation as a whole. State or local area information is available from:

State employment security agencies. These agencies develop detailed information about local labor markets, such as current and projected employment by occupation and industry, characteristics of the work force, and changes in State and local area economic activity. Listed below are the Internet addresses of these agencies and addresses and telephone numbers of the directors of research and analysis in these agencies.

Most States have career information delivery systems (CIDS). Look for these systems in secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, libraries, job training sites, vocational rehabilitation centers, and employment service offices. The public can use the systems’ computers, printed material, microfiche, and toll free hotlines to obtain information on occupations, educational opportunities, student financial aid, apprenticeships, and military careers. Ask counselors for specific locations. State occupational projections also are available on the Internet: http://www.projectionscentral.com
