New in the CareerOneStop Toolkit:
Employment Patterns
CareerOneStop’s newest online tool provides a snapshot of industry employment by occupation. Visit Employment Patterns to see employment by industry within any one of more than 800 occupations. Simply enter the occupation of your choice and you’ll find a list of industries that employ workers in that career. For each industry, you’ll see:
- The official industry name. You can click the link to view a full profile of information about the industry from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- The share of all workers in the occupation that are employed by the industry
- The number of workers in the occupation who were employed in the industry in 2018, followed by the number expected to be employed in 2028
- The rate of employment growth expected over the ten years in this combination of industry and occupation
Knowing which industries hire workers in any given occupation is valuable information for both first-time job seekers and for people wanting to change jobs or advance in their careers. The industry/occupation employment data in Employment Patterns come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Projections program.
American Job Centers: a full range of employment assistance under one roof
CareerOneStop.org offers a wealth of online employment and training resources, and it’s also the source for finding in-person employment assistance at one of the thousands of American Job Centers located across the United States.
AJCs offer training referrals, career counseling, job listings, and other employment-related services at no charge to the public. Most centers have a resource room with computers, printers, and phones. Customers can access online job banks, resume software, and other job search resources.
Many centers also offer free classes, job search workshops, and job clubs. These services might help people practice interviewing, set career goals, or get answers to other employment-related questions and concerns. At many centers, people can make an appointment to get personal assistance. AJCs also offer special services for veterans, young adults, dislocated workers, and others. Everybody should ask if they might qualify for one of these programs.
The American Job Center system is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. Anybody can locate a local AJC at www.CareerOneStop.org/JobCenter, or by calling ETA's toll-free help line at 1-877-US-2JOBS (TTY: 1-877-889-5267).
