New WorldWideLearn.com Salary Estimator Widget Calculates
the Value of a Degree
WorldWideLearn.com, the world's premier online directory of
education, is proud to announce its new Salary Estimator widget,
which shows visitors the difference that additional education
could make in their salaries. The Salary Estimator can be easily
copied to other Web sites, free of charge.
(PRWeb) - June 09, 2008--Visitors to WorldWideLearn.com can see the difference a degree makes by using the new Salary Estimator widget. With this simple tool, users can input their current and desired education levels and see salary estimates based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The widget is also available for use on other Web sites, free of charge. It can be found on the WorldWideLearn homepage at http://www.worldwidelearn.com (scroll to bottom.)
"Because the Salary Estimator widget is based on actual BLS data, users can get a clearer picture of the doors that education could open for them," says WorldWideLearn.com spokesman Doug Jones. "We are very pleased with the end product. The widget is easy to use and share, and the results are simple yet informative. We picture the Salary Estimator being used on many education and job search Web sites."
Using the Salary Estimator, a high school graduate, for instance, would learn that he could expect to earn on average $42,999 more per year with a bachelor's degree in technology and IT. A college grad might be motivated to earn an MBA, knowing that she could earn $30,000 more per year on average with an MBA. These results are estimates only, of course, and users must be aware that a college degree cannot guarantee a specific salary. But BLS data, gathered across the US and constantly updated, suggests average salaries that reflect the value of an education.
This sleek and simple widget makes it easy for Web site owners to add free, interactive, useful content to their Web sites. Adding the widget to a Web site is as simple as copying and pasting the provided code. Because the Salary Estimator uses salary and education data from a trusted source, Web site owners can be confident that the estimates are grounded in solid data.
