🧠 How We Use O*NET Data

How O*NET data supports structured career profiles, matching, and explanations.

O*NET data helps us represent careers as structured profiles that can be compared consistently. In CareerMeasure, it is used for:

  • Occupational profiles (work activities, skills, knowledge, abilities, and work context)
  • Title mappings and synonyms to reduce ambiguity across job titles
  • Structured career feature sets used for career matching and explanations

CareerMeasure also includes product-specific transforms and derived features. USDOL/ETA has not approved, endorsed, or tested these modifications.

Terminology note

CareerMeasure uses user-facing labels such as Interests, Motivations, and Strengths. These are our groupings for how we present and explain results. They may not match O*NET field names one-to-one. In some places we also summarize or rewrite occupational descriptions for clarity. The attribution statement on this page indicates that modifications were made.

🔄 Updates and Limitations

We aim to update our O*NET data to new official releases as soon as practical after each update.
