LOWEST JOB SCORE

Our job score is a metric that is used to rank different occupations based on a combination of factors. By combining these different factors, the job score allows for a comprehensive assessment of an occupation's overall prospects. It can be used to compare different occupations and identify those that may be more attractive in terms of growth, wages, and job security.
