Tools and Technology database updated
The tools and technology (T2) file provides information on machines, equipment, tools, and software that workers may use for optimal functioning in a high performance workplace. With this update, over 45,000 tools and technologies have now been identified for 647 occupations, including all 200+ O*NET Green occupations and over 320 Bright Outlook occupations.
The O*NET Project welcomes feedback on the T2 database. T2 information for 216 occupations has been enhanced with the help of customer input. After reviewing an occupation's current T2 information, you can submit specific suggestions for adding more examples of tools or technology through our T2 feedback process.
Look for the "Tools & Technology" section of the Summary, Details, or Custom Report, or visit the Tools & Technology Search page. A listing of occupations with T2 data is available. The complete T2 data files can be downloaded from the O*NET Resource Center
O*NET OnLine gets greener
Occupation reports in O*NET OnLine now display new green task statements identified through the O*NET Green Task Development project. Green occupation reports list all green task statements, in addition to other descriptive information about the nature of the green occupation and the green economy. See more in our Browse by Green Economy Sector search.
New data in O*NET OnLine
Highlights of this fall update include: 1) comprehensively updated data for 107 occupations from the O*NET 16.0 database, and 2) the conversion to the new 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) standard. The new O*NET-SOC 2010 taxonomy includes 1110 occupational titles, 974 of which represent O*NET data-level occupations. Additionally, the OnLine update includes the latest BLS wage data along with updated crosswalks to the new O*NET-SOC taxonomy.
Locate occupations using military codes, with the updated MOC crosswalk.
O*NET OnLine's Crosswalk Search enables users of a variety of occupational coding systems to find matching O*NET-SOC occupations. The Military Occupational Classification (MOC) crosswalk has been updated by the Department of Defense (April 2011) and incorporated into O*NET OnLine's Crosswalk Search. Over 10,000 MOC occupations are linked to related O*NET-SOC occupations. The MOC crosswalk helps transitioning military personnel locate appropriate civilian jobs.
