Summary: | The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) is the primary source of occupational information in the United States (US).

An important cultural insight the study offers regarding occurrence of career decision-making difficulties, are the differences due to vertical–horizontal characteristics, apart from the more researched individualism–collectivism characteristics. |
