****The search below has been discontinued because SJIS is so much better. *****

You may use the % sign as a wildcard.  
In the DOT Number field, to Search by Category, Division or Group (1st 2nd and 3rd digits of the DOT respectively) enter the first digit or digits followed by a % sign.  
For example:  If you wanted to find Machine Trades (First Digit 6)  you would enter 6%
If you wanted to find Machine Trades Printing Occupations, you would enter  65%
If you wanted to find Machine Trades printing Machine Occupations 652, you would enter 652%

In the DOT Title field you can enter the exact DOT Title to find the occupation you want. However, you may not know the title.  You can use the % sign to help you.  
For example:  To search for all "CLERK" related occupations, you would enter: %CLERK%  (If you wanted to find only those occupations that begin with the word CLERK, you could enter CLERK%
