About Those Numbers at the Beginning of Each Statement
The numbers in parentheses that appear just below the title of most
occupational statements are from the Dictionary of Occupational
Titles (D.O.T.), Fourth Edition, Revised 1991, a U.S. Department of
Labor publication. Each number classifies the occupation by the type of
work, required training, physical demands, and working conditions. D.O.T.
numbers are used primarily by State employment service offices to classify
applicants and job openings. They are included in the Handbook
because some career information centers and libraries use them for filing
occupational information.
