The SBS Pathways Center is excited to share our newest resource for students with the introduction of our Labor Market Insights module. In our virtual career center this tool will allow you to both explore and prepare for a potential career by gaining insight into the context, requirements, and demand for potential occupations within your industry of interest. We know just how important of a factor salary is when it comes to choosing your career and major, and now you have access to explore 24/7!
How to Get Started:

- Or visit any career community in the main navigation menu of our virtual career center under ‘Explore Careers’, and select ‘Labor Market Insights’, like this example in our ‘Media/Journalism’/Entertainment‘ community.
Once you’ve set the search criteria for any occupation you’ll be able to find information about the core tasks, employment trends, education levels, annual earnings and more!
