Abstract: A system and method for retrieving and displaying data, such as economic data. The method can include receiving over a computer network a user request for a first item of economic data, retrieving the first item of economic data from a database, and providing a display description for view by the user over the computer network with the display description including the first item of economic data. The method can further include receiving a second item of economic data from the user over the computer network and at least reducing a fee from the user for receiving the first item of economic data. In another embodiment, the method can include displaying a plurality of discrete data items to the user and receiving a selection of one of the discrete data items from the user resulting from the user at least aligning a cursor on the graphical display with the selected discrete data item.

Abstract: A system and method for providing occupational information provides users with access to occupational information. The system includes a raw data storage component by which job descriptions, job titles, job-related skills, job demands, and other work measures are collected, analyzed, and reported. The system also includes a job availability component where counts of specific jobs are created and maintained. The system collects data from multiple sources including end-user applications running on client computers and server applications running on peripheral servers. The system may also collect data from other sources associated with occupational information. Use of the system may result in the system being updated.

Abstract: A system and method for remote learning, such as in the area of compensation and benefits for costs and benefits personnel and professionals. The method can include receiving over a computer network a user request to access a remote course, providing course material for the requested, and providing a virtual picture frame wherein the frame surrounds the course material and includes one or more links to executable applications relevant to the requested course. The method can further include receiving a user request to access through a link in the virtual picture frame an executable application, executing the application and providing a display of the content of the application.
