Similarity scores measure how comparable occupations are to one another. We calculate them by comparing O*NET and Vicinity Jobs data for two occupations using a mathematical formula called cosine similarity. We compare level of skills, abilities, knowledge, work activities, tools, training, and education required for each occupation. The higher the cosine similarity value, the more similar they are considered.
