Farr culled Department of Labor and Census Bureau statistics to select 300 jobs for description, choosing the "best" based on earnings, projected growth, and number of openings. The first section is made up of lists beginning with one ranking all 300 jobs according to the criteria used for selection. This is followed by over 60 more specialized lists presenting the jobs in terms of age, gender, level of education, personality type, and interest. Section two contains alphabetically arranged job descriptions, approximately one page each, which include discussion of wages, training, and related jobs. Jobs discussed include child care worker, drywall inspector, welder, truck driver, travel clerk, and teacher assistant. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
