Search Tips

This Tab allows users to search the Florida Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) database by using any combination of area, industry, and/or job titles.

1. Enter only complete words in the Search Text Box. The search does not consider partial words.

2. Enter job titles in singular rather than plural form. For example, use "Mechanic" instead of "Mechanics".

3. Enter a generic title, rather than trying for an exact title match. For example, use "Drafter" instead of "Electrical and Electronics Drafter". Then use the "Areas", "Industries", and "Occupations" tabs to navigate.

4. You can also start a search by selecting either the default "National, all industries, all occupations" or "Florida statewide, all industries, all occupations" listings. Then click on the Area, Industry, or Occupation Tabs to obtain additional selection options.

5. Counties are the building blocks of the system for area data. By entering a county name, you can obtain information for all areas that contain that county.

Note: There must be publishable data in the database for the search criteria to display information.
