What do the colors mean under “Difficulty Landing Job” on the home page?

Updated October 25, 2026

The bar represents the relative difficulty of landing a job in each career path, with the left side (green) being the easiest and the right side (red) being the hardest.

The color changes from light green, dark green, light yellow, dark yellow, light orange, etc., as difficulty increases:

  • 🟩 Light Green = Easiest
  • 🟨 Yellows and Oranges = Moderate difficulty
  • 🟥 Dark Red = Hardest

As the color shifts from green to red, the bar gets longer, indicating a higher level of difficulty.

This rating is based on factors like the job market, required skills, and typical competition for entry-level roles.
