Westfield State University’s Career Center team has an exciting announcement to share about our newest resource for students: the introduction of our Labor Market Insights module! At the Career Center, we understand how critical data is to help you choose a career, whether you’re looking to explore potential careers, understand typical salaries, see if you should pursue graduate school, and apply for employers who are currently hiring.
In our virtual career center, this tool empowers you to explore and prepare for potential careers by providing insights into the context, requirements, and demand for occupations within your industry of interest.
How to Use:
- Search on the ‘Find Career Data by Selecting Keywords’ tab, or select the ‘Or, By Filtering for Industry and Occupation’ option.
- Visit any community in the main navigation menu of our virtual career center under ‘Explore Your Interests’ or ‘Build Career Skills,’ and select ‘Job Trends & Insights,’ like this example in our Explore Your Interests community.
Once you’ve set the search criteria for any occupation, you’ll find detailed information about core tasks, employment trends, education levels, annual earnings, and more! This data is regularly updated to ensure you are accessing the most current findings.
