This document is designed as a workbook for those planning to conduct labor market surveys. The data gathering procedures were specifically designed for a small rural college with limited financial and manpower resources. The purposes of such a survey are to identify manpower needs, to make the college known as a source of trained manpower, and to acquaint vocational instructors with local employers and jobs performed. A step-by-step description of the process of conducting a labor market survey is provided, as is a glossary of terms, a list of groups to be contacted, a list of materials to be developed, sample data collection forms, a list of computer table headings and column designations, a detailed description of the computerized Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) system and its use, a list of two-digit industrial codes, and a bibliography. Brief descriptions of the method used to conduct a survey at Columbia Junior College (California) and the results obtained are also included. (DC)
