CareerSide is independent. We look to established public datasets and clearly identified research when explaining occupations, employment prospects, wages and working patterns.
Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), Employment Projections and the Occupational Outlook Handbook help inform occupation-level wages, employment trends and projections. Different datasets use different years, definitions and classifications.
Official BLS website ↗The O*NET database describes occupational activities, skills, knowledge, abilities and work contexts. O*NET information is sourced from the U.S. Department of Labor's occupational information program; references to it do not imply endorsement.
Official O*NET database ↗WFH Map tracks remote and hybrid work trends using job posting data. Job posting shares are not the same as the share of people currently working remotely.
WFH Map data ↗CareerSide intends to cite the relevant source, dataset year and methodology on each factual guide. National wage figures may differ from local earnings or individual offers; occupational projections are estimates rather than guarantees. Skills and career-path guidance can involve interpretation and should not be mistaken for official government advice.
Our publishing system and source-specific citations are still being prepared. No article should claim to use a particular dataset until its figures have been checked and attributed.
Independence: CareerSide is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by BLS, O*NET, WFH Map or the U.S. government.
