MuniNet Job Market Research Helps You Answer Questions About Your Next Job and the Employment Environment. Use Our Tools Below to Start Researching.

Where is there job growth in my field?

MuniNet has created a powerful visualization that allows you to look at official government data on sector employment growth in individual states. Select the industry sector you want to view from the list under the map (default map is Manufacturing), and scroll over any state to look at how that job market sector performed in 2017.

For manufacturing, Nevada saw an impressive 12.9% increase in employment year over year, leading all states, while Alaska trailed all states with a -6% change in manufacturing employment.

What is the pay scale for my occupation?

MuniNet uses government data to bring you employment growth and median wage scales for hundreds of occupations. Scroll through or use the search bar to find or type in your current or desired title for hourly wage and median annual income scales.
