| Summary: | Intended for use in occupational and education planning by students and counselors, this document contains information about the 106 occupations which are included in the professional, technical, and kindred workers cluster of the U.S. census. The occupations are grouped by field of interest. For each occupation, the information provided includes a one-page narrative description of the occupation along with census data on occupational mobility in Pennsylvania expressed in the form of bar graphs. The narrative briefly defines the occupation, then discusses personal qualifications, job duties, possible advantages and disadvantages, preparation and training, and sources of additional information. One bar graph depicts the 1965 activities of all 1970 workers in the occupation. This is followed by a paragraph highlighting some of the major shifts or similarities in workers' occupations between 1965 and 1970. The second graph shows what 1965 workers in an occupation were doing in 1970. The total number of workers in the occupation is given for 1965 and 1970, along with a list of job titles classified under the occupational heading. (RG) |
