Data sources

The first version of this site uses only the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program.

We use the latest annual national and metropolitan-area downloadable OEWS spreadsheets. The source year and release are displayed on every salary page.

Download OEWS tables from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

No wage or employment estimates from job boards, employer reviews, user submissions, Census, or BEA are combined with the BLS figures.

The location directory uses the U.S. Census Bureau's 2025 simplified state boundaries only as static map geometry. Those boundaries are not joined to salary records and do not affect salary values, page eligibility, or written analysis. View the official Cartographic Boundary Files.
