Lightcast - Open Titles Taxonomy

**Overview**
Lightcast maintains an extensive library of more than 75,000 job titles. While traditional classification systems like SOC and O*NET offer structured frameworks, they often fall short in capturing the nuanced and rapidly evolving nature of today’s job market.

Lightcast Titles are grounded in the language employers actually use in job postings, providing a real-time lens into emerging roles and specialized occupations. When paired with Lightcast Job Postings data and the Open Skills taxonomy, Titles offer a powerful tool for analyzing and understanding the labor market at a much deeper level. For details on how you may copy or redistribute all or part of the dataset in any medium or format, please refer to our [Open Terms of Use](https://clickwrap.us.spotdraft.com/259502/lightcast-legal/open-terms-of-use-121d834d).

Behind the scenes, our team of expert taxonomists and engineers continuously cleans, verifies, and updates each title entry, ensuring you always have access to the most accurate and current view of the labor market.

Open Titles is freely accessible because we believe in using data for good. Our goal is a labor market that works for everyone. By embracing a shared language of skills, we can help every worker and every job connect more effectively, efficiently, and fairly.
