Professional Surveyors Needed for DoL Statistics
The O*NET Data Collection Program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor (DoL), is reviewing their description of surveyors and seeking the input of expert surveyors. As the nation's most comprehensive source of occupational data, O*NET is a free resource for millions of job seekers, employers, veterans, educators, and students. The database, available to the public at no cost, is continually updated from input by a broad range of workers in each occupation.
MALSCE members who meet the O*NET occupation expert criteria have the opportunity to participate in this important initiative. Your participation will help ensure that the complexities of your profession are described accurately in the O*NET database for use by the American public.
