Salaries Not Current,
By Bubba Tex (League City, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries (2000-2001 Edition) (Paperback)
If you are purchasing this book to use as a current salary reference, you will be disappointed. Many of the tables show salaries from 1997, some as old as 1995, and many have not been updated since the last edition.

Business consultant,
By JF "sailing enthusiast" (Houston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries (2000-2001 Edition) (Paperback)
I disagree with the earlier reviewers. I don't know what their purpose was for using the Almanac, but I keep it as reference for business. It covers a large number of job decriptions, white collar and blue collar. It explains the usual path to the various careers, and has a lot of salary data. While much of the salary data is out of date, it cites the sources of the data which is usually the key indutry trade group. Googling these sources can give you the latest information on the particular carreer and is worth the price of the book. It's too bad there has not been an update since 2000-2001.

Is everyone a CEO or celebrity?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American Almanac of Jobs and Salaries (2000-2001 Edition) (Paperback)
I found this book to be plagued with salaries and jobs for the minority of job seekers. If you are planning on becoming a dancer or a CEO, this book is for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time. All you will be doing is extrapolating through inference what the salary of the job position you are seeking is.
