[CASL-L] Career Database for Research?

[Isabel M]

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! You can keep all suggestions
coming, but I just want to clarify: we are specifically looking for a *database
*(as opposed to a website or book series). We do require students to use
those kinds of sources (we love the Occupational Outlook Handbook), but
they have plenty from which to choose. They are required to use at
least 2 *database
*sources in addition to those books and sites. That's the gap we are
looking to fill (if we stop our Choices subscription).

Thanks again for your suggestions. We will need to start researching. :)
