>From the O'NET FAQ:
How can I obtain a Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT)? Is there a more recent edition than 1991?
The DOT is being replaced by the O*NET Database, which is accessible through O*NET OnLine.
The latest edition of the DOT was published in 1991. Copies of the 1991
DOT are still available for purchase from the Government Printing
Office at (202) 512-1800.
