Salem's six-volume Survey of American Industry and Careers provides in-depth overviews of 112 core North American industries and related jobs and careers, current as of 2010. Drawing on data from authoritative sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as private institutions, and written by authors familiar with these fields, these detailed essays address all aspects of the industries covered, from their history to the outlook for their future in the coming decade. The industries covered include those most important to the North American economy and range from manufacturing to e-businesses. The scale of these industries also ranges from those dominated by international corporations to those dominated by small businesses or individual enterprises. These are the industries that ground the American economy.

The scope of this set is broad, and includes newer industries such as:

Alternative Power Industry
Biofuels Industry
Computer Systems Industry
Environmental Engineering and Consultation Services
Internet and Cyber Communications Industry
Video, Computer, and Virtual Reality Games Industry
