Data Story

Datasets

• Taxation Statistics 2016-17 Individuals, Table 14: We used this dataset to see how tax statistics (income, dedeuctables, expenses etc.) vary in each occupation over time. Table 14b has aggregated statistics dating back to 2010-2011. We used this dataset to build models which predict future wage growth.

Labour Market Information Portal (LMIP)

• 2018 Employment Projections - for the five years to May 2023: This dataset contains LMIPs employment projections for each occupation. We used this to give job seekers an incentive to look for careers where there was strong job growth, as a counterincentive to usual wage or wage growth incentives.
