Pay across the ladder

No priced rungs for this family's ladder yet.

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

Employment growth 2014–2024, BLS OEWSobserved

-4.8%Engineering Technologists and Technicians, Except Drafters, All Other · United States

67,640 → 64,410 jobs

BLS published no Engineering Technologists and Technicians, Except Drafters, All Other employment before 2014 (this occupation code enters the OEWS series then), so the window shown is the widest one actually observed.

5,700 openings / year, split into:

replacement / exits 5,599

Growth — new jobs (2%)Exits — backfill (98%)

2% of hiring here is genuine expansion; the rest backfills people who move on.

Projected growth 2024–34 expanding: +1.5%
Growth share of hiring: 2%
Exit / retention pressure high: 98%
Openings / year: 5,700

Two quantities, kept apart: observed = employment growth differenced from two BLS OEWS vintages (what already happened); projected = BLS Employment Projections 2024–34, openings decomposed into growth + exits (growth derived from projected employment change). Neither is a pay figure.

no content fingerprint

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

Structural

Where it sits— position in the work taxonomy + level (weighted Gower, level > function > focus).

No content fingerprint for this profile.

Two roles can sit far apart structurally yet be close in content — that gap is itself a signal.

3-state matching

How any two swatches compare — a real distance in coordinate space, resolved to a calibrated verdict (never a fake "94% match").

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
