Job Browser Pro PC Version 1.7.4 is a new installation, in a new default folder. There is a new icon (different color - orange). Because the extensive research we have done has enabled estimation of employment at a weighted average of 88.6% for each SOC/OES group, we no longer allow customers to immediately modify NAICS industries for a DOT occupation. We do allow customers to submit suggestions, which we will review and incorporate into a subsequent update as appropriate. We want to prevent double counting and inappropriate NAICS, so we will study each submitted suggestion in the context of the impact of that suggestion on the entire SOC/OES Group.
We will be publishing some additional documentation soon on just all of what we have been busy doing in this lengthy research effort!
Existing customers: Upgrade to Version 1.7.4.1 available through the normal update process for paid customers current on the Internet Update Service. We look forward to your comments!
