OysterLink’s Demographics and Statistics Methodology
Published: 8/15/2024
When collecting statistics and demographics for our pages, we start with data from publicly available sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the United States Census Bureau (USCB) and state-specific government sites.
For positions that are not available on BLS or USCB, we refer to various other sources, such as Glassdoor, Indeed, Salary.com, ZipRecruiter and Talent.com.
We then calculate the average of these inputs to produce the most accurate data and statistics for that position.
Where Do We Get the Data From:
- Government-published sources of statistics – may include BLS, USCB, city and state-specific sources such as dol.ny.gov, dir.ca.gov, etc.
- By monitoring demographics and statistics that companies such as Glassdoor, Indeed, Salary.com, ZipRecruiter and Talent.com publish online.
