Motivation

The Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) provides information on what workers do; the work environment; education, training, and other qualifications; pay; the job outlook; information on state and area data; similar occupations; and sources of additional information, for 325 occupational profiles, covering about 4 out of 5 jobs in the economy. A link from a Wikipedia item for an occupation to the OOH will be a useful source of information about the occupation. Note that one identifier for OOH, may correspond to multiple Wikidata items (see example of musicians and singers above). There should not be a constraint requiring one identifier in just one item.
