Free Demo/Job Search Edition Occupational Assessor provides unique assistance to job seekers, particularly individuals unexpectedly unemployed, returning from military service, or those with disabilities. This complimentary and easy-to-use software identifies, in today's terms, the skills, knowledge sets, and mental and physical capacities found in work in America. With a few clicks of a mouse, specific jobs, local employers staffing those jobs, job availability statistics, and online job postings within the commuting range of a job applicant become available. Users can match their capabilities against these measures. Job search at the personal level is all about minimizing rejection. ERI's software increases the odds of job search success by identifying "jobs that fit" and local employers likely, or visibly, posting these jobs, while providing contact names, emails, addresses, and phone numbers. OA increases the odds of success. Features include:

ERI and PAQ data are unique. The US DOL, in abandoning its Dictionary of Occupational Titles, today reports on only 750 job families, with broad information of interest mainly to those in career counseling for the general population. The DOL and the SSA have turned their backs on disabled individuals who might brave, at best, a half-dozen job application rejections in their search for employment. The question is simple, "Within a 5-50 mile driving radius, what are the 20 organizations most likely in need of one's skills and physical/mental capabilities"? OA, assisted by the Internet, holds an answer that greatly increases the chances of job search success. This Job Search version is free (part of the Demo Download). Two other versions exist: Professional (for US FLSA determinations, along with an archive 1991 DOT copy, and the described "best" job search for disabled individuals or those unexpectedly unemployed) and the Consultant (used in disability determinations by major disability carriers, the courts, and vocational experts).

ERI's Occupational Assessor & Survey (eDOT^?) is an easy-to-use program that provides information concerning 99 characteristics of work for over 10,000 unique jobs found in the US today. Professionals analyze jobs using OA under new US FLSA overtime rules and assist those who desire to reenter the workplace with "lessened capacities". For more in-depth usage, OA+ provides disability determination analyses. OA's online use contributes data to PAQ's eDOT Skills Project cybernetic system of collecting physical, mental, and environmental demands found in the modern workplace, and it also contributes to ERI Salary Surveys and SalariesReview's online survey databases. PAQ, in turn, contributes data to ERI's Job Availability Survey, capturing job occurrences; this counting is complemented with the millions of individuals' job title counts gathered annually from loan and employment applicant earnings verifications, digitized public records including the US SEC, OCR of US IRS returns, SalariesReview and ERI Salary Surveys' patented online surveys, including ERI's study of job board data (licensed from GuideStar, CareerBuilder, the IRS, etc.). The consequence is that ERI can report both the pay for jobs and the frequency of a or the job's occurrence within a geographic area or industry.
