SOCR Data 2011 US JobsRanking

SOCR Data - Ranking Dataset of the Best and Worst USA Jobs for 2011

Data Description

LA Times Neighborhoods

Many school or college graduates, as well as older adults seeking employment are interested in selecting careers that would be satisfying and have future potentials for job growth. The dataset below includes the ranking of the 200 most common jobs in the US for 2011 based on average salary (USD), classification of the work environment, level of stress, physical demands, and future hiring potential.

Data Source

• These data are collected from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau and other sources.
• Variables
  • Index: Ranks of the 200 most common jobs based on the Overall_Score variable (lower rank/index indicates better job, and higher rank indicates a less desirable job for 2011).
  • Job_Title: A brief title of the profession.
  • Overall_Score: A Dependent variable corresponding to the linearly predicted overall rank of this job using the remaining explanatory variables (below).
  • Average_Income (USD): An estimate of the mid-levels income for this profession.
  • Work_Environment: Work environment for each job reflects 2 basic factors: physical and emotional components. Points are assigned for potential for adverse working conditions (larger scores). In other words, fewer work-environment points would yield a lower (better) job rank and higher points reflect lower quality environments.
  • Stress_Level:
  • Physical_Demand:
  • Hiring_Potential: The hiring-potential rank assigns higher scores to jobs with promising future outlook and lower scores for less future potential. This ranking is based on 3 factors: US Department of Labor expected employment growth (2011-2018), income growth potential (expected salary increase in the next 7 years), and unemployment chance (estimate of the likelihood for unemployment through 2018).
  • Description: A brief job description for each profession.
• Additional information is available here.

Pedagogical demonstrations using the 2011 US Jobs Ranking data

• Multiple linear regression: We can use the SOCR Multiple Linear Regression Analysis applet (see MLR activity and MLR EBook Chapter) to develop a linear model predicting the Overall Ranking (dependent variable) using the other variables as explanatory (independent) variables.
