Economic Mobility
Economic Mobility in North America
Where US and Canadian workers experience the strongest income growth and upward mobility — by city, occupation, and education path.
SalaryScope's Economic Mobility model scores every metro and occupation on income growth velocity, opportunity ladder steepness, and downstream wealth outcomes. Used together they form the SalaryScope Mobility Index.
Income growth
Median wage growth at every percentile across the past 1, 3, 5, and 10 years.
Career mobility
How quickly workers can climb the ladder in each occupation and metro.
Opportunity cities
Metros where the combination of pay, cost of living, and demand is strongest.
Upward mobility
Probability that a worker who starts in the bottom quartile reaches the top half by mid-career.
