3 states, side by side. Operator counts and wages from Census and BLS; licence records matched on “SOC 17-2071” (soc) for Electrical Engineers. A blank gate means NO RECORD MATCHED, which is not the same as no licence.

Axes are shown side by side and deliberately NOT collapsed into a ranking. A composite would be a score with no measured interval, and an unmeasured score is the thing this product exists to argue against. A high licence gate is a cost to enter and a moat once cleared — which of those matters more is the operator's call, not ours.
