Mathematics/Statistics

Specific interest area · O*NET

Mathematics/Statistics is a specific interest area in the O*NET database, part of the Investigative Holland family. O*NET describes it as: "Work involves developing and applying mathematics and statistical theory and methods." It is scored for 891 occupations, which average 2.10 out of 7 on the Occupational Interest scale.

How it's measured

O*NET scores each occupation on this interest on a 0–7 Occupational Interest (OI) scale, where higher means the work more strongly rewards this interest. The figures here are those occupation-level scores — a description of what kind of work each job involves, not a ranking of which job is better, harder, or higher-paid.

Economy-wide average 2.10 / 7 Mean across all 891 scored occupations
Range across occupations 1.00–7.00 Lowest to highest occupation score (spread 6.00)
Prevalence vs. other interests 78th pct Where this interest's average ranks among all O*NET interest dimensions
