How this list is built

A career is listed when three federal datasets agree on its SOC occupation code. BLS publishes an annual wage for it, it has an O*NET® description, and the CIP–SOC crosswalk links it to at least one field of study. That gives 670 careers.
The crosswalk links 171 occupations to no field of study, such as cashiers, waiters and many production jobs. They aren't listed, because this explorer starts from what you study. For 5 occupations BLS publishes only an hourly wage, so they aren't listed either: actors; dancers; musicians and singers; disc jockeys, except radio; and entertainers and performers, sports and related workers, all other.
BLS publishes some occupations' wages only for a combined group, for example mental health counselors together with substance abuse counselors. 21 careers here are in one of 9 such groups. Each still gets its own page, and the page says when its wage and projection cover the whole group.
The growth bands are ours, not BLS's. They compare a career with the projected change for all occupations together, 3.5% over 2025–35.
“Field of study” uses the same major groups as our college matcher. 218 careers are reached only through fields the matcher doesn't offer, such as the construction trades, mechanics, law and public administration. Those fields are listed under “Other fields”, using their official CIP family names.
