occupational statistics

Occupational statistics are data collected to analyze the number of people working in different jobs, their characteristics, and employment trends over time. These statistics help understand which industries are growing or shrinking, the skills needed, wages, and workforce demographics. They are used by governments, businesses, and researchers to make informed decisions about workforce development, economic policies, and education. By providing a detailed snapshot of employment patterns, occupational statistics offer insights into the labor market’s structure and changes, helping stakeholders address workforce needs and plan for the future.
