Similarity scores measure how comparable occupations are to one another. We calculate them by comparing O*NET and Vicinity Jobs data for two occupations using a mathematical formula called cosine similarity. We compare level of skills, abilities, knowledge, work activities, tools, training, and education required for each occupation. The higher the cosine similarity value, the more similar they are considered.
Average salaries are the average annual wages for each occupation. We base them on the most recent data from Statistics Canada's Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS).
Growth prospects are based on projected employment levels for each occupation over the next 5 years and over the next 10 years. We base these on the most recent data from the The Model of Occupations, Skills and Technology (MOST), an employment by occupation forecast produced by Employment and Social Development Canada. We use the following rates to arrive at the ratings:
