Honest numbers

Pay is the May 2024 BLS wage survey for your chosen region, with Texas or U.S. figures when the local number is not published. Job outlook is the Texas Workforce Commission 2024 to 2034 projection with the BLS national projection beside it. Career descriptions and interest profiles are O*NET. Programs are pulled from the Alamo Colleges District program index. When a number is missing we say so rather than estimate it. More about the data.
