The AAS publishes a Job Register, which is the premier location for employers who are seeking astronomers. The Job Register is published on the first of each month and usually contains about 50 or more jobs each month.

The AAS provides a Career Center at each AAS meeting. The Career Center serves as a meeting place for employers and job seekers, as well as being a posting location for new jobs and jobs in the most recent Job Register. Interviews can be carried out and many job seekers have found it is a great place to network and meet potential employers.

At AAS meetings, the Committee on Employment organizes an array of workshops and sessions that deal with career issues.

Finally, the AAS provides links to a large number of career-related resources and a special page of links to astronomers who are working in industry or a non-traditional career.
