Brookings Mobility Pathways Tool

The Mobility Pathways tool helps workers, businesses, and policymakers identify career transition opportunities by showing common job movements, wage changes, demand levels, and mobility prospects. Workers can use it to find realistic pathways to better-paying jobs by examining transitions from their current occupation, with features showing which moves offer wage increases and higher long-term mobility potential based on historical patterns. Businesses can leverage the “transitions into” function to identify promising talent pools for recruitment and upskilling, discovering workers from unexpected occupations or lower-paying sectors who have successfully made similar transitions. Policymakers can use the tool to design workforce development programs by identifying which occupations could serve as talent pipelines for growing fields, examining local labor supply through employment share data, and targeting reskilling efforts for workers in declining industries toward emerging opportunities that offer upward mobility.
