The American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries: (2000-2001 Edition)

I disagree with the earlier reviewers. I don't know what their purpose was for using the Almanac, but I keep it as reference for business. It covers a large number of job decriptions, white collar and blue collar. It explains the usual path to the various careers, and has a lot of salary data. While much of the salary data is out of date, it cites the sources of the data which is usually the key indutry trade group. Googling these sources can give you the latest information on the particular carreer and is worth the price of the book. It's too bad there has not been an update since 2000-2001.
