The Pennsylvania Occupational Outlook Handbook is produced by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, Center for Workforce Information and Analysis, to assist youth and adults in making career decisions. It contains detailed occupational information for over 230 occupations, covering the majority of jobs in Pennsylvania.
