How to Read This Data
Figures on this site are anchored to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey — the federal government's survey of wages by occupation across US metros and states. Every published figure is a BLS OEWS May 2025 estimate for the named metro area, state or the nation; where BLS suppresses an estimate the page is omitted rather than modeled. The median annual salary is the single most representative figure: half of workers in that role earn more, half earn less. The 25th and 90th percentiles show the spread: a quarter of workers earn less than the first, and one in ten earns more than the second.
