> 🚧 Request employment records and owners first
Before requesting employment metrics, you **must first** make a POST Retrieve Owners and a POST Retrieve Employment Records.
If you do not request the accounts, transactions and balances, the analyses won't be able to be conducted.
We recommend you make the POST Retrieve Owners and POST Retrieve Employment Records.requests **just before **you make your employment metrics request to ensure all the data is properly calculated.


Our **employment metrics** resource gives you in-depth data points regarding your user's employment history.

Using employment metrics you can get the following information for each of your users':

- their current work status
- their most recent base salary
- metrics regarding the employment duration
- metrics regarding their salary increases and decreases
