In eight states, counselors and people making career choices now have a new tool for getting the information they need. Occupational information systems are delivering up‐to‐date, accurate information about occupations and local employment conditions in Alabama, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Washington, and Wisconsin. Funded with seed money from the U.S. Department of Labor's National Occupational Information Service, the development of these systems is guided by these key principles: cooperation between producers and users of occupational information; intensive information‐development efforts that maximize the use of available information; systematic information delivery; user services, training, and marketing efforts; and cost sharing and eventual self‐support.
