About the Data Wage and employment data are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Foundational skill levels are derived from ACT’s job profile database which includes over 19,000 job analyses for occupations across a diverse array of industries and occupations. Foundational skill levels are presented for three WorkKeys® cognitive skills— Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information for selected groups of targeted occupations over the next 8‐10 years. These three skills have been consistently identified as important for success in a broad range of jobs.
