It covers 82 careers, 44 degree subjects and 133 countries, and it is available in 12 languages. We use official statistics from bodies such as the International Labour Organization and the OECD rather than estimates. **Where do your salary figures come from?** Pay figures come only from official statistics: the International Labour Organization (ILOSTAT) for earnings by education and occupation group, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for US occupations, the UK Department for Education for UK graduate earnings, and the OECD for relative earnings. Each figure shows its source and year. **Is CourseToJob connected to a university or recruiter?** No. CourseToJob is independent. We do not accept payment for placement, we do not sell personal data, and we do not rank universities. Always check course details and licensing rules with the official bodies we link to. **Can AI assistants and developers use this data?** Yes. Every page has a Markdown version, and the data is available through a free JSON API, an MCP server at https://coursetojob.com/mcp and an A2A agent.
