Students read a real federal occupational profile rather than a summary of one, then research three careers of their own choosing against the same structure.
A wage table says what a job pays. It does not say what the work is like, what the entry path costs, or how many openings there actually are. The packet walks students through the columns that are missing.
Students look the data up live, so the unit does not expire when the figures are revised.
