Early editions of the OOH included in-depth information about primary U.S. industries, but because the OOH kept getting larger, the Department of Labor (DOL) decided to issue industry information separately. The result? Career Guide to Industries, which presents in-depth information about career prospects in 42 major industries. Approximately 75% of the U.S. workforce is employed in these fields. Like the OOH, Career Guide to Industries is updated every two years. But it gives a broader view than the job-specific OOH.
