How These Map to Roles
Occupation-level BLS context only — not a certification outcome. Salary figures below reflect BLS OEWS national median wages for the mapped occupation (SOC code). These are workforce-level statistics, not certification-specific earnings. Individual outcomes vary by employer, geography, experience, and market conditions.
| Occupation | SOC Code | BLS Median Annual Wage | BLS 10-Yr Outlook | Est. Annual Openings | Example Cert Mapping |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data Analyst | 15-2051 | $120,230 | +33.5% | 23.4K | Google Data Analytics Certificate |
| Business Intelligence Developer | 15-2051 | $120,230 | +33.5% | 23.4K | Google Data Analytics Certificate |

Credential Types
Google offers two distinct credential types tracked here. Google Career Certificates (IT Support, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, AI) are program certificates earned through Coursera — they are NOT proctored certification exams. Google Cloud certifications (Cloud Digital Leader, Associate Cloud Engineer) are proctored vendor exams administered by Google Cloud. These two types are not equivalent and are labeled separately in the table below.
