Labor Wage Statistics uses statistics provided by the Department of Labor to help you with future career choices.
- If you know what career you wish to pursue, the "Your occupation" screen can show you average salary and employment numbers for your area. It can also inform you which industries or locations provide the highest pay and employ the most people in your career choice.
- If you know what industry you wish to work in, the "Preferred industry" screen can show you what careers have the highest pay or have the highest employment in that industry
- If you know what geographic location you want to live or work in, the "Where to work" screen can show you which careers have the highest pay or have the highest employment in that area.
- For those happy in their current career choice, the "Compare your salary" screen can help you to graph how your salary compares with others in your career at a national, state, or city level.
