This is the occupational
profile for the career that you have selected. All of the cities
that are listed have shown an uptrend both in workforce numbers
and salary amounts in recent years.
Also, be aware that in cities where the workforce is low, there
may have been a huge percentage growth even when there has been
a small increase in workers. Always look at the growth and see
if the workforce numbers are also high. This will help you find
the places with a truly promising job outlook. If you need more
detailed information, we invite you to buy the Occupational
Outlook Handbook 2002-03 Edition, compiled by the U.S.
Department of Labor.
