Abstract	This short booklet describes the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress' (NAEP) survey of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes, of students aged nine, thirteen, and seventeen and young adults in America to determine their career and occupational development (which included many elements of career education). (The survey, conducted as one way of evaluating the need for career education programs, took place during the 1973-74 school year. It describes skill levels existing before large numbers of career education programs were implemented, and was intended to suggest areas to consider in designing, implementing, and evaluating career education programs.) Results presented are responses for the nine- and seventeen-year-olds and cover the following areas: looking for information (Where do you go to find out about possible careers?); job-seeking skills; job knowledge (duties, pay, and training requirements); job aspirations (What kinds of jobs do American young people look forward to? Are their aspirations in tune with today's economic realities?); sex stereotypes (interests, skills, aspirations); job discrimination; and differences in achievement. Sources of additional information on the National Assessment are included. (SH) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Summary).
