Demographic Data 

Several programs at the Bureau of Labor Statistics make significant amounts of data available for specific demographic categories. 

Statistics by Industry 

Workplaces (establishments) are classified into industries based on their principal product or activity, as determined from information on annual sales volume. 

Statistics on Business Costs 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has a variety of numbers that can be used to gauge movements in business costs. Some of them measure labor costs, while others measure the prices of goods and services. 

Statistics by Occupation 

Workers are classified into occupational categories based upon the work they perform and their skills, education, training, and credentials. 

Statistics by Geography 

Most BLS programs publish data at the national level. Some programs also publish data for smaller geographic areas, allowing focus on regional, state, or local trends.

The nation's primary source of occupational information. Valid data is essential to understanding the rapidly changing nature of work and how it impacts the workforce and the U.S. economy.

Central to the project is the O*NET database, containing hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors on almost 1,000 occupations covering the entire U.S. economy. The database, which is available to the public at no cost, is continually updated from input by a broad range of workers in each occupation. 

O*NET information is used by millions of individuals every year, including those taking advantage of O*NET OnLine, My Next Move, and other publicly and privately developed applications. The data have proven vital in helping people find the training and jobs they need, and employers the skilled workers necessary to be competitive in the marketplace.

Parker Dewey is a mission-oriented organization that helps connect great talent with great companies through Micro-Internships.

These projects enable Career Launchers to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off. Micro-Internships are used by companies ranging from those in the Fortune 100 to emerging start-ups, and go across departments including sales, marketing, technology, HR, and finance.
