Many jobs demand ap- prenticeship or on-the-job training, while others require a professional academic degree. About 75% of the people working in _59_ and techni- cal fields have at least some college education, and only about 5% have less than a high-school education. Although education is not a guarantee of employment, unemployment rates decline as the level of education rises.

Employers often ask job applicants to send a resume, which is a summary of the applicant’s employment ex- perience, personal data, and education.
There is a wide range of sources of job in- formation, _54_ includes advertisements in newspapers and periodicals, public and private employment services, professional organizations, labor unions, and civil service commisions. _55_ one or more of these sources allows the pro- spective employee to assess the opportunities available, the training and experience necessary, and the income that can be expected.
