About This Data

All wage data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program. BLS surveys approximately 1.1 million business establishments each year, making this the most comprehensive wage dataset available for the U.S. labor market.

The OEWS measures wages at the time of the May survey — they do not reflect bonuses, overtime, or benefits. For total compensation, add 20–30% for typical employer benefit costs. Data is published annually, typically in late March or April for the prior May survey.
