The assignment is outlined in three (3) steps below.

Step 1: Create a table like the one below into a Word document and then fill in the information you gather in Step 2.

Step 2: Visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook webpage https://www.bls.gov/ooh. Look up the description for the following job titles and enter the information in the Table you created in Step 1:

• Database Administrator
• Medical Records/Health Information Technician

Step 3: Finally, compare and contrast the job functions listed for these titles. Using complete paragraphs or another table if you like, identify and highlight differences you see in the job functions and then identify and highlight similarities you note in the job functions.

Your paper should use proper spelling/grammar and be at least two (2) pages long.
