a zillion books in one
I found the book to have about everything anyone needs pretaining to jobs, especially those who are looking around. It also simplifies lots of things that are difficult to determine, such as how to find certain types of companies, who to contact, how to write them and so on. I especially like the strategies, I bought the new edition too (for year 2000) which is even better.

This book has been badly edited and is a waste of your money
The job descripitions in this book are not very thorough or indepth in their content. Many fields and specialities weren't even listed while obvious no-brainer job descripitions were described in full detail as if we're idiots. The Annual Earnings Survey is out dated, and the editors have overlooked the many mistakes made in this section of the book. Some of the earnings are off by a line (i.e. a Nurses aid makes $597,000 at the top of the field while on the next line it states an Obstetrician/Gynecologist makes $61,000 at the top of the field...Big Mistake on that one, and there are many others just like it) I hope readers don't use this survey as a guide for it is in need of serious editing. Why buy a book that doesn't even have correct information in it? I was disappointed to find that the bulk of the book listed nonsense information about only a very few U.S. employers for each state and did not cover a wide range of fields. Don't waste your time and money on Les Krantz's Job Finder's Guide 1999.
