Market Research Reports

Trusted public sources for employment and wage research.

We do not invent salary tables or unpublished survey results. Use publicly available research from official and intergovernmental organisations, and always open the original report for methodology and year.

How to read labour-market research

Check the sample size, country coverage, reference year, and whether figures are means or medians. Private blog round-ups often recycle outdated numbers without sources.

Recommended public sources

Start with these organisations when researching employment, wages, and migration for work. Attribution belongs to the publisher — we do not republish their datasets here.

  1. 1ILO statistics and labour standards materials
  2. 2World Bank labour and jobs publications
  3. 3National statistics offices and ministry dashboards for your target country

Using research in your job search

Treat published ranges as context, not a promise. Negotiate from your skills, contract terms, and local cost of living — and verify employer claims independently.
