Where the numbers come from

Every figure on this site has a public source and a date. When a figure is not published, we show nothing rather than an estimate.

Career descriptions, tasks, job zones, interest profiles: O*NET 29 database, U.S. Department of Labor / ETA; Used under CC BY 4.0. Some text has been shortened or edited for this site; USDOL/ETA has not endorsed the changes.
Pay: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024, San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro; Texas or national figures are shown, and labeled, when the metro figure is not published. Some top figures are capped by the BLS; we show a plus sign.
Regional job outlook: Texas Workforce Commission long-term occupational projections 2024 to 2034 (Alamo Workforce Development Area: Bexar and 12 surrounding counties; and Texas statewide); Shown for the San Antonio region and for Texas. Other metros show the Texas figure. Openings include growth and replacement of people who leave the occupation.
National job outlook, typical education: BLS Employment Projections 2024 to 2034; Shown beside the regional figure for context.
Pay in other regions: BLS OEWS May 2024 for Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Texas; Pick a region at the top of any page; careers without a published local figure fall back to Texas, then U.S., and say so.
Skills a career uses: O*NET Skills (importance and level); The ten skills O*NET rates most important for the occupation, with the level the work needs on a 1 to 7 scale. This is what the job uses, not a count of employer postings.
Military crosswalk: O*NET Military Crosswalk, July 2024 release; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Space Force, and National Guard occupation codes mapped to civilian occupations by the Department of Labor.
Education people in the job have: O*NET Education, Training, and Experience surveys; Shares of incumbents by highest education. It describes who does the job today, not a requirement.
Programs: Alamo Colleges District program index (alamo.edu); Program names, levels, colleges, and links as published. Each program is mapped to a federal field-of-study code (CIP) and from there to the careers O*NET links to that field.
Interest assessment: O*NET Interest Profiler items (Mini IP, 30 items) and six summary statements written for this site; Scored in your browser. Careers are ranked by the correlation between your six-area profile and each career's O*NET interest profile.

What this site does not claim

Alignment with your interests is not a measure of your ability or a prediction that you will succeed.
Live job postings, employer names, and postings trends are not shown because no free public source publishes them by occupation for San Antonio.
Program availability, tuition, and admission rules are the college's; follow the program link for the current catalog.
