This dataset is available as machine-readable JSON — including provenance, columns, key figures and a verbatim sample of rows — and as a spreadsheet-ready CSV sample, for researchers, journalists and AI assistants. Every figure traces to the source below.

Methodology

Wages are taken verbatim from the BLS OEWS May 2025 national cross-industry release (national_M2025_dl). BLS suppresses estimates that do not meet publication or confidentiality criteria — suppressed cells are excluded, never imputed. Annual median and mean wages and employment counts are reproduced exactly as published.

How this snapshot is prepared & verified

  1. Source. Retrieved from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), the official publisher, under the US Government public domain. Reference period: May 2025.
  2. Verbatim capture. Every figure shown here is copied from, or computed directly from, that snapshot — nothing is estimated, rounded away or hand-entered.
  3. Verification. Column values are checked against the published source before release, and the licence and attribution are preserved exactly as issued.
  4. Re-publication. The snapshot is exposed as a citable page plus JSON and CSV downloads so it stays independently verifiable and quotable.
