Job Market Insights is a powerful tool that consolidates and displays data that originates from the U.S. Department of Labor and is available from multiple pages across the MCS website. Some of the key insights include employment trends, top employers, and annual earnings based on student searches by keyword, industry, occupation, and U.S. geography.
For example, using the keywords “Marketing Manager” and filtering on “District of Columbia” as a location, the Job Market Insights tool displays these results:
Employment Trends
Trends help you anticipate what the demand will be for the given job or career into the future. Is this a growing field?
Annual Earnings
When you are using this data for salary research, keep in mind that these earnings are based on the U.S. Department of Labor records for everyone who holds a job with that title whether they are just hired out of college or have been working in the field for 10 years.
Top Employers
Note that the top employers include Georgetown and American Universities, The Washington Post, and the Natural Resources Defense Council because the search was filtered by District of Columbia as the geographic location.
