What it measures
- Occupation profiles that combine BLS wage and outlook data with training information
- Certification, licensing and apprenticeship program listings
- Local training providers and workforce program locations
- Career and skills matching tools built on federal classifications
What it does not measure
Most misreadings of labor data come from asking a dataset a question it was not built to answer. These are the limits worth holding onto.
- Anything original. CareerOneStop republishes and packages data collected by other programs
- Monthly labor demand. It is not a survey of openings or hires
- Employer level hiring activity
Update cadence
Varies by dataset, since it republishes several federal series.
Occupation pages name the specific release behind each figure and when it was imported, so you can see how current a number is rather than assuming it is new. More on that on about the data.
How we plan to use it
- Planned and access dependent. CareerOneStop is not ingested today and contributes nothing to any figure on this site.
- The intended future use is training, credential and local program context next to an occupation, clearly separated from the score.
- Because access requires approved credentials, this remains planned until that access is in place.
Planned, not active
CareerOneStop is not ingested today. Nothing on this site is derived from it, and it does not affect any Job Market Health score.
Official source
U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration publishes CareerOneStop data services. JobMarketHealth organizes and derives from that public data and is not its publisher.

- How to compare local job marketsOccupational data goes local through OEWS employment and concentration. Monthly demand data mostly does not, so local comparisons need care about what is being compared.
