Data sources and methodology

Career opportunity scores and salary ranges are editorial estimates derived from public labour market datasets and curated role research. They are not live job counts and should be treated as indicative.

This location dataset was refreshed against current official source pages reviewed on 2026-04-26. For expanded UK coverage, salary bands and most score inputs are derived from checked-in ONS ASHE earnings files, while UK industry themes are derived from the official ONS BRES region-by-broad-industry workbook and then lightly grouped by Modern CV into reader-friendly labels.

What comes from where

  • Official source-backed: the salary reference, most UK score inputs, and UK broad-industry inputs come from checked-in ONS releases.
  • Derived by Modern CV: the final score, salary band, and UK display industry labels are calculated or grouped from those source files and rounded for readability.
  • Editorial by Modern CV: example roles, CV tips, and Europe-side industry summaries are guidance content rather than official statistics.

ONS BRES region by broad industry group, 2024 provisional

Top UK industry themes for East are derived from the official ONS BRES 2024 provisional region-by-broad-industry table for East of England, because a matching checked-in city or combined-authority industry table is not currently used in this project.

Office for National Statistics content reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 where applicable.

ONS ASHE occupation and region earnings, 2025 provisional

Current UK map coverage for East is driven by checked-in ONS occupation-by-region earnings rows, aggregated by Modern CV into a wider regional estimate because a matching combined-authority percentile table is not published for this geography.

Office for National Statistics content reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 where applicable.

Office for Students student outcomes data dashboard

Retained in the project as the official graduate outcomes source for future provider-level expansion. Current UK graduate-map scores rely primarily on checked-in ONS earnings and jobs-volume proxies where city-level graduate outcomes are not published in a matching geography.

Office for Students official statistics, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 except where otherwise stated.
