This page uses a user-research scope. No standalone national occupation recognition for User Researcher / UX was found; Industrial Design Engineering Technician (2-02-34-02) is an approximate mapping. An expired Sichuan provincial document included user research under industrial-design service design; it is supplementary context only. U.S. pay and outlook use the same 15-1255 occupation as design and are not independent statistics for user researchers; research ≠ design. Global ESCO 2511.18 is a classification only, and the WEF UI/UX position is a trend proxy.
