Data Sources and Calculations
Career Cluster Data
Career clusters and pathways are collections of standard occupation (SOC) codes. They are defined by the
States' Career Cluster Initiative.
Occupation Data
Organizing regional employment information by occupation provides a workforce-oriented view of the regional
economy. EMSI's occupation data are based on EMSI's industry data and regional staffing patterns taken
from the Occupational Employment Statistics program (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Wage information is
partially derived from the American Community Survey. The occupation-to-program (SOC-to-CIP) crosswalk is
based on one from the U.S. Department of Education, with customizations by EMSI.
State Data Sources
This report uses state data from the following agencies: Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.
