Analysis & insights

This treatment of education careers career trends pulls from EDsmart files and the sources on the page; the charts summarize those records, not future outcomes. National aggregates flatten real variation—Ohio, Georgia, and Washington can look like different worlds. Skewed distributions split the median and the mean into different stories. Program, year, and campus still matter more than any single national line.

STEM and technology wages vary sharply by role, metro, and degree level. Health occupations face licensing barriers that many tech roles skip—same broad label, different labor market. AI exposure scores describe which tasks look automatable; they do not measure job quality or working conditions. Seattle, Austin, and Boston appear often because employers cluster there, not because outcomes are uniform. Bureau of Labor Statistics detail and program accreditation add what these charts abbreviate.

FAQ

Career trends

What do occupation trend pages summarize?

They combine O*NET or BLS outlook concepts with education pathways where EDsmart has modeled connections—useful for orientation, not hiring forecasts for a single metro.

Why can projected openings differ from graduation counts?

Replacement demand, migration, and non-degree hires break simple “graduates per opening” stories. BLS projections are national scenarios with documented assumptions.
