## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Job Market Intelligence — Career Value & Outlook Scorer

**Research any job title for salary trends, demand outlook, and career growth potential before committing to a path.**

This actor analyzes any US job title using O*NET and BLS public data, returning a structured 0–100 career value score with wage percentiles, demand signals, and growth projections.

---

### Why use this actor

- **Real BLS wage data** — not scraped listings, but official employment statistics
- **10-year outlook** — projected growth (%) and demand direction (rising/stable/declining)
- **Career value score (0–100)** — composite of pay, demand, stability, and growth
- **O*NET skills & tasks** — know what the job actually requires
- **One call, one answer** — no stitching together 5 government APIs

---

### Input

```json
{
  "jobTitle": "Software Developer"
}
````

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `jobTitle` | string | ✅ | Job title to analyze (e.g., "Software Developer", "Registered Nurse", "Financial Analyst") |

***

### Output

```json
{
  "jobTitle": "Software Developer",
  "careerValueScore": 84,
  "salary": {
    "median": 130160,
    "p10": 78790,
    "p25": 99600,
    "p75": 165430,
    "p90": 198100,
    "currency": "USD"
  },

    "projectionPeriod": "2023-2033",
    "employment2023": 1692100,
    "employment2033": 1995450
  },
  "skills": ["Programming", "Systems analysis", "Critical thinking"],

### Pricing

- **$0.05 per job analyzed** (Pay-Per-Event)
- No subscription, no monthly fee. Pay only for what you analyze.

### Data Sources

| Source | Use | License |
|--------|-----|---------|
| US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) | Wage percentiles, employment, 10-year outlook | Public Domain (17 U.S.C. § 105) |
| O\*NET OnLine | Skills, tasks, knowledge, work styles | CC-BY 4.0 |

All data is publicly available US government or CC-licensed.

***

### Career Value Score Formula

| Signal | Weight | Source |
|--------|--------|--------|
| Median salary (vs national median) | 30 | BLS OES |
| Projected growth % (10-year) | 25 | BLS Employment Projections |
| Employment size (stability proxy) | 20 | BLS OES |
| Salary range (p90/p10) — upside | 15 | BLS OES |
| Skill requirement clarity | 10 | O\*NET |

Score 80+ = Excellent (strong pay + growth + stability)
Score 60–79 = Good (one or two dimensions weaker)
Score <60 = Caution (declining demand, low pay, or unstable)

***

### Use Cases

- **Career coaches**: Brief clients with data, not opinion — "here's what the BLS actually projects for this role"
- **Students & career switchers**: Compare 5 roles side-by-side before committing to a degree or bootcamp
- **HR & recruiters**: Benchmark compensation bands against true market percentiles
- **Policy & education researchers**: Analyze regional workforce gaps by occupation

***

### Disclaimer

Data reflects US market only. Projections are point-in-time estimates from BLS — actual outcomes may vary. This actor does not provide individual career advice; consult a licensed professional for personal decisions.
