There are two tabs above the search fields. Choose which search you want to engage:
- Left tab: “Find Career Data by Selecting Keywords”
- On the left, use the “Search…” field box to enter any occupation title or key word. A list of suggested occupations that match your search will auto-populate and you can scroll through it to identify the career title you want to explore.
- Optional: The middle drop-down allows you to narrow your search by state. You can also leave it on “Nationwide” for a full picture. If a state is chosen, the right drop-down allows you narrow further by county.
- Right tab: “Filtering for Industry and Occupation”
- From the left drop-down, choose a career cluster or industry you would like to search
- Next, choose an occupation within that cluster or industry
- Optional: The middle-right drop-down menu allows you to narrow your search by state. You can also leave it on “Nationwide” for a full picture. If a state is chosen, the right drop-down allows you narrow further by county.
When you have identified an occupation, the career profile will load below the widget, displaying tasks, responsibilities, employment trends, top employers, education levels, salary information, skills and competencies, and sample job titles reported.
