Understanding this salary data
These are May 2025 BLS OEWS estimates, not individual salary offers.
Median and mean
The median is the midpoint: half of estimated workers earn less and half earn more. The mean is the arithmetic average and can be influenced by very high or low wages.
Salary percentiles
A percentile estimates the wage below which that share of workers falls. For example, the 25th percentile is not a recommended starting salary or a guarantee.
Employment estimate
Employment is the BLS estimate for workers in this occupation and metro area. It is not a count of current job openings.
Missing and suppressed values
BLS may suppress or omit an estimate. This site treats suppressed markers and blank cells as unavailable, never as zero, and excludes incomplete records from rankings and salary pages.
