CareerOneStop - Sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Labor, pulls together a wide range of career information, labor statistics, job postings, and workforce services. Allows you to build a customized occupation profile listing skills, wages, outlook, education. If you don't have one picked out, you can select an occupation from among the fastest growing, highest paying, or search for the best match using the skills profiler. This should at least be your first stop, since it incorporates or links to most of the information available in the sites listed below.
