The Occupation Outlook reports for 2013 have been designed to be one of the first places for young people to look when making a decision on career options and to determine what their chances are of getting a job once they have finished studying.

The 40 key occupations were chosen for a range of factors, including their size, popularity, and potential for future growth.

There are three dials for each report that indicate likely income, fees and job prospects for young people entering the occupation. The dials have three possible settings – for income and fees: low, medium and high; and for job prospects: limited, fair and good.
