APPENDIX A
Materials Associated with the User Survey
Appendix A contains responses to a questionnaire that the committee used
to survey DOT users. As the accompanying letters show, two kinds of users were
surveyed: the first letter was sent to a sample of single-order purchasers of the
DOT, and the second letter was sent to DOT users in state agencies.
The purchasers of the DOT were randomly sampled from a list of names and
addresses, provided by the U.S. Government Printing Office, of individuals who
purchased the fourth edition DOT during its first six months of availability. The
state users are a casual sample of individuals identified by staff of the State
Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (SOICC) as users of the DOT.
The questionnaire was part of the committee's effort to determine the
nature and extent of the uses made of the DOT outside the Employment Service.
Other sources of information were site visits to federal agencies identified as
major users (see Appendix B) and a literature review of social science research
uses of the DOT (see Appendix C).
Chapter 4 contains more detail about the sampling design and timing as
well as a detailed analysis of the responses.
