🧭 CMAP Research Data (Job Title Movement)

How we attribute and use CMAP title-to-title movement evidence for career pathway exploration.

CareerMeasure uses the Career Map Dataset (CMAP) as a job-title movement layer. In our product, CMAP supports observed role-to-role transition pathways, transition share percentages, and previous/next movement context around a selected role.

  • Research scope includes large-scale anonymized professional histories with cross-sector job-title movement data.
  • CMAP publishes validated promotion transitions for U.S. and U.K. datasets, plus separate inferred transition sets for broader regions.
  • The CMAP release also includes title normalization resources and SOC-linked occupational mappings used in our integration pipeline.

We cite both the peer-reviewed publication and the dataset release record:

CMAP attribution note

CMAP is used as research-based movement evidence in CareerMeasure. We may apply product-level normalization, mapping, and ranking layers on top of the source data. Please refer to the linked publication and Zenodo record for original methodology, release notes, and citation metadata.

🧠 How We Use Career Data

How validated career profiles and CMAP movement evidence support fit analysis and pathway exploration.

CareerMeasure combines validated career profile data with CMAP movement research so careers can be represented and compared consistently. In CareerMeasure, this 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
  • Crosswalk mapping between validated career profiles and CMAP job-title movement records

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

Our update intent across profile and movement datasets, plus important license scope notes.

We aim to update our validated career profile dataset and CMAP movement dataset as new official releases and research updates become available.
