Instruction
This assignment involves finding and entering data requested into the Microsoft Word Document.
Part I: Open a new Microsoft Word Document and save it with the name format “LastName.FirstName.CS1300.Assignment01” to your drive or cloud of choice. Create a table with 5 columns titled, “Occupation” , “Salary” , “Hourly”, and “SD Salary” and “SD Hourly”. Change the entire document font to “Georgia” and size “11”; the columns may be auto-sized. The Occupation column will be a text column; all other columns are dollar amounts (two decimal places).
Part II: This part of the assignment is where you locate the data to enter into your document. You will need to access the following two websites:
1) Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/)
2) South Dakota Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_sd.htm)
It is highly recommended that you print a blank page of your document to write down your data and then enter it into the Word document later. On the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) web page, use the “A-Z Guide” to search for 5 occupations associated with your program (for example, Medical Assistant, Accountant, Manager) or your field of study (for example, in the health care field, you might pick physician, nurse, medical assistant, lab technologist, certified nurse’s aide). Find the Median earnings for each of those occupations, both as an annual salary and as an hourly wage.
After you have collected all of this data, access the SD Labor Statistics website and locate the same data for South Dakota as well. Using the South Dakota Occupational Employment Statistics web page, locate the major occupational group in SD - clicking a link will scroll the page to the occupational group. You can then search the group for specific occupations and identify the Mean hourly wage and the annual mean wage. You should have one line of information. Enter all of this data into your Microsoft Word Document. Repeat this process for each of your occupations.
Last, enter this data into the appropriate columns in your Microsoft Word Document. You may use the attached Assignment 01: Microsoft Word Documents and Wages Template to complete this assignment.
