Bureau of Labor Statistics - For Kids

The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Web site for kids provides introductory career information for students in Grades 4-8. Most of the material on the site has been adapted from the Bureau’s Occupational Outlook Handbook—a career guidance publication for adults and upper-level high school students that describes the job duties, working conditions, training requirements, earnings levels, and employment prospects of hundreds of occupations.
