GOT is now Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy (LOT)
We officially changed the name of our Global Occupation Taxonomy (GOT) to Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy (LOT).
LOT is a proprietary taxonomy composed of 4 different levels (Career Area, Occupation Group, Occupation, Specialized Occupation). This taxonomy has a 1-1 relationship between levels, allows users to start broadly and then get to a level far more granular than O*NET and SOC, and is also updated at least annually. The frequency with which this taxonomy is updated makes it especially useful for identifying emerging roles and occupations.
Filter Profile Analytics by “Highest Attainment”
You can now filter profiles in Profile Analytics by the highest education attainment level.
Conduct Program Research Using LOT (Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy)
Available now in our Program Overview, Program Table, and Programs by Location Report you can conduct program research using LOT.
Occupation Taxonomies Navigation
There’s an easy way in Job Posting Competition to navigate up and down occupation taxonomies, and even across from SOC to ONET to GOT.
Remote Trends
Now you can view remote trends by job, location, company, or skill in Report Builder.
Median Posting Duration
It’s back! Median Posting Duration is now available in all posting reports. It was temporarily removed due to backend changes.
