This reference provides information on
270 jobs that cover 90 percent of the
workforce and is designed especially for
students in grades 4–9. Based on the
latest Occupational Outlook
Handbook (OOH), this book
covers the information most important to
younger audiences with text that
stresses the connection between school
subjects and future careers.
This guide is grouped into 11 clusters
of related jobs, following the

OOH. Each section includes
one-page job descriptions that provide a
brief overview of the job; school
subjects related to the job; activities
for trying out the job; information on

interesting fact related to the job.
The entertaining and fun content engages

to refer to their favorite jobs again
and again. This book even offers an
up-to-date, extensive Web directory of
