About

O*NET is the U.S. Department of Labor's master database describing nearly 1,000 occupations. What each job does, which skills and education it needs, typical wages, and which careers are related. Its free Web Services API lets apps search occupations by keyword, pull full occupation profiles, and even embed the famous O*NET Interest Profiler career quiz. Registration is free; attribution to the Department of Labor is required in your app.
