The map of work

14 national career clusters

The National Career Clusters Framework (2024 revision) divides the entire world of work into 14 clusters, each crosswalked to occupations, education programs, and industries. Together these clusters span 1,035 occupation placements and roughly 180,557,960 workers. Each cluster page renders its largest occupations (cross-linked to full profiles), its sub-clusters, the industry sectors it anchors to, and the fields of study that lead into it.

Career clusters are a navigational framework, not a measured score. Occupation counts and program counts come from the official 2024 crosswalk; employment and pay are aggregated from BLS OEWS (national, cross-industry, May 2024) across the occupations in each cluster, and describe the cluster rather than any one job or person.
