How are these data points useful to jobseekers?
The employment and unemployment rates can be helpful in understanding the health of local economies, how challenging it is to find a job in that area, and when to start searching. A comparatively low unemployment rate can signal a competitive job market. On the other hand, if unemployment rates are trending downward, it may mean that companies are actively hiring, and thus a good time to start searching for a new job.
It can also show potential places to relocate. A high employment rate relative to where you’re living may show there are more employment opportunities. And if rates of unemployment are high in your area, it may indicate a need to expand your job search to other locations.
Median earnings by education level and occupation give jobseekers an indication whether they should seek further education and help set optimal salary or wage expectations. It may be time to seek further education if the median income in your industry is lower than your expectations. Knowing median earnings may also help you understand what salary you may be worth and help inform negotiations when starting a new job.
Overall, this data enables you to make well-informed decisions about career paths, salary negotiations, and whether to consider relocating or further education to maximize your employment prospects.
