Every month, about one-in-forty Indeed users with an uploaded resume switches into a new job, and almost two-thirds of them switch to a new occupational category, according to a Hiring Lab analysis of tens of millions of U.S. Indeed user profiles. Understanding which sectors workers come from when they start a role in a given industry — and which industries they tend to join once they leave a given sector — can tell us a lot about how workers build careers and take their skills from one industry to another.
The interactive plot below shows the inflow and outflow rates of Indeed occupational categories. The right side of each chart represents the category into which people switched during the years from 2022 to 2024. The left side represents their previous occupational categories.
