Our expertise
Careertipset focuses on the decisions people actually face in their careers. Here is what we cover, how we research it, and every guide grouped by topic.
How we build our expertise
Our guidance combines three kinds of evidence. First, primary labor market data from statistical agencies such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Second, published research, including peer reviewed studies and working papers from groups such as the National Bureau of Economic Research. Third, named industry surveys from hiring platforms and recruiters, which we label clearly because they are not neutral sources.
| Evidence type | Examples we use | How we treat it |
|---|---|---|
| Official statistics | BLS Employment Situation, Employee Tenure, National Longitudinal Surveys | Preferred source for any number about the labor market |
| Research | NBER working papers, university studies | Summarized with sample, method and limits |
| Industry surveys | World Economic Forum, ZipRecruiter, Jobscan | Cited with the publisher named and the survey period stated |
