Careerometer

 

Careerometer is a tool that can be used to explore and compare key information about your potential career.

This tool helps you to compare national average wages and working hours for up to three occupations.

• Try typing in a job that you'd like to investigate and then select a match from the list to see the data 
• You can then include a second and third choice to view the comparison if required
• Please note that this is national average data, but you can use it to help you get a bigger picture of the potential opportunities.
