Unique Skills

Unique Skills shows skills that are most particular to the occupation(s) selected, and has two parts:

  • % of Skill Postings in Occupation: Lists the percentage occurrences of skills that occur more frequently in the occupation(s) selected than in any other occupation(s). This metric focuses more on the skill than the occupation. For example, “Surgery” in Registered Nurses might show 38%, meaning that 38% of all postings that contain the skill “Surgery” are postings for Registered Nurses
  • % of Postings with Skill: Lists the percentage of occurrences of that skill that are specifically for the occupation in question. This metric focuses more on the selected occupation(s) than the skill. Assuming we’re still considering the Registered Nurse occupation and the Surgery skill, if Surgery showed 16%, the skill “Surgery” appears in 16% of all the postings for Registered Nurses
