6. Two from the Bureau of Labor Statistics _Monthly Labor Review_ [.pdf] http://stats.bls.gov/mlr/opub/mlrhome.htm National Industry-Occupation Employment Matrix http://stats.bls.gov/oep/nioem/empiohm.asp
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released these two information resources. The first is a web version of the well-known print publication _Monthly Labor Review_. Articles (Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] format) and departments associated with the print publication can be accessed at the site. Departments include Labor Month in Review and Book Reviews. Unfortunately, the current labor statistics section, which makes up an important part of the publication, is not duplicated, but there is a pointer to BLS' data page, where this data can be found. At present, the full text of articles is available back to June of 1997, with partial full text back to January. The second site is a fascinating searchable and browsable database that allows users to track the employment distribution of an occupation among industries. Data are available for both 1996 and 2006 (projection). Users can search or browse by industry or occupation. Results can be sorted by employment or projected (percent or numeric) change in employment. Data are available for over 500 occupations within 240 industries. [JS]
