Tools and Technology database updated

The tools and technology (T2) file provides information on
machines, equipment, tools, and software that workers may use for
optimal functioning in a high performance workplace. With this
update, over 45,000 tools and technologies have now been identified
for 647 occupations, including all 200+ O*NET Green occupations and
over 320 Bright Outlook occupations. The O*NET Project welcomes
feedback on the T2 database. T2 information for 216 occupations has
been enhanced with the help of customer input. After reviewing an
occupation's current T2 information, you can submit specific
suggestions for adding more examples of tools or technology through
our T2 feedback process. Download this file from our Developer's
Corner, or explore the new T2 data in O*NET OnLine.
