The book claims to provide leads to 40 million jobs from executive to entry level positions. While I'm not sure where that number came from, the book does have a good section on using the Internet to find jobs. It also outlines jobs in 15 major categories (accountants - writers) and describes the types of jobs available in each category and near future job outlooks. It lists specific businesses by category and whom to contact. Additionally, it shows jobs by region of the country and list major employers by state.
Recommended For: A good resource for all job seekers, especially first time job hunters and those thinking of changing careers or relocating.
