This information is now included within O*NET OnLine, My Next Move, and My Next Move for Veterans.

In addition, the Browse by Industry searches within the O*NET sites are also updated to reflect more current employment patterns.
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
