Survey 2 OOQ Survey 2

We would like your help evaluating new section titles for the Occupational Outlook Quarterly (OOQ), 
a publication produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) four times a year.  
The OOQ provides practical information on jobs and careers. Articles include data from the Bureau 
of Labor Statistics and are written in straightforward, non­technical language to cover a wide variety 
of career and work­related topics, such as tips for jobseekers, careers by industry, and unusual 
occupations. Its target audience includes students, teachers, school and career counselors, and 
anyone seeking occupational information. 
Your responses will help determine the new section titles and contribute to the redesign of the OOQ 
publication and its website.  
We estimate it will take you approximately 5 minutes to complete this voluntary survey. The OMB 
control number for this survey is 1220­0141. Without a currently valid number BLS would not be able 
to conduct this survey. The current expiration date for this control number is February 28, 2015. 
This survey is being administered by Surveymonkey.com and resides on a server outside of the BLS 
Domain. BLS cannot guarantee the protection of survey responses and advises against the 
inclusion of sensitive personal information in any response.  
Thank you for your help. Click Next below when you are ready to continue.
