Occupational information, including projected employment and wages, is vital in career exploration, education and training program development, and economic development.

The distribution and growth of occupations are key economic indicators that can show the income potential and diversification of a local economy. Employment forecasts tend to identify key growth sectors, and target occupations that will provide the bulk of job openings to local economies.
