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.
