Abstract
The latest edition of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles represents major changes in direction and approach from the original version published in 1939. While a second edition, released in 1949, added new job information to the document, it resulted in few changes to the contents of existing job definitions or the concepts underlying the occupational classification structure. The present third edition constitutes a complete revision designed to improve its utility to various groups and its effectiveness in meeting the operational needs of the U.S. Employment Service. To understand the implications of the Dictionary for various personnel activities, however, it will first be necessary to provide some background information relative to the development, specific content, and structure of the publication.
