Many workers are looking for ways to move up the economic ladder. The updated Occupational Mobility Explorer from the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and Cleveland allows you to trace a career path by visualizing how skills needed for lower-paying jobs can transfer to similar jobs with higher pay in the same local market.
You can now explore nearly 600 job titles across 500-plus U.S. locations. You can build a path from your current role by exploring jobs with higher pay in the same local market that share skills with that role while identifying the additional skills you may need to develop to grow your career. Or select a higher-paying role to start, and the tool will show lower-paying roles with shared skills in that local market that could lead to that career goal.
What else is in the enhanced tool? You can see how similar the skills are between jobs in your path, their median wages, whether they require a college degree, and what their projected growth rate is. You can also view local job postings for jobs within your career path and write a skills-based resume using resources featured on the site.
