Component gaps

Gap = Current Demand component minus Long-Term Outlook component, in score points.

Neither direction is better than the other: they describe different horizons. Occupations missing either component are excluded, leaving 642 comparable records.

Job Market Health score: A JobMarketHealth derived indicator from 0 to 100, national and occupation level. It is not a government statistic and no state-level version of it exists.
Median published score: The middle value of the published scores in this release, or the mean of the two middle values when the count is even.
