CAREER CLUSTERS
Occupations are often "clustered" together under using
category headings to help you with your search. Looking at all
the jobs in the U.S. is going to create different results than
looking in your own city. We have provided 3 levels of clusters.
National U.S. Job Clusters
The U.S. government splits the vast number of jobs into groups
and subgroups. Take a look at the many options at the
Bureau of
Labor Statistics . In the Overview section click "Industry
Order Index".
