Search Tab
Tips for making the most of this tool
The Search Text Box performs a search of the Florida Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) database based on any combination of area, industry, and job title that you enter. 1. Enter full words. The search does not consider partial words. 2. Enter job titles in singular rather than plural form. For example, use "Mechanic" instead of "Mechanics". 3. Results are returned in order of relevance score. The best matches have the highest score. 4. While each word is considered separately, each result's relevance is based on the performance of ALL words in the query. So, entering more words will generally yield more matches. Less common words will generally match with a higher relevance than very common ones. 5. Counties are the building block of the system. By entering a county name, you will retrieve all areas that contain that county. 6. The navigation panel can direct searches on this tab. Clicking an area, occupation, or industry temporarily includes it in the search results presented. 7. Rather than try for an exact match, select a similar one and use the "Areas", "Industries", and "Occupations" tabs to navigate to the exact one that you want. To view the overview page for a search result, click the result name. 8. The search considers matching statewide and/or national data for the same occupation and industry. 9. The search considers matching all-occupation and/or all-industry data. 10. There must be publishable results on file.
IMPORTANT: The OES survey does not produce comprehensive estimates of all areas, industries, and occupations.
Due to sample limitations and regulations governing the quality of the results and confidentiality
of the company responses, not all data collected may be publishable. If the data you want is not available, try looking at a larger area, industry classification, or at a related occupation.
11. The search considers the last (or currently viewed) cell. For example, if you are viewing "Mechanic" in a given area and industry, and then type in "Carpenter", the system will look for carpenters (and mechanics) in that same area and industry. 12. Search words are matched against a list of over 45,000 job titles that are mapped to the 750 or so Standard Occupational Classification titles covered by the survey. Because of differences in terminology across the country and across industries, this may result in some interesting and perhaps unlikely matches.
