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.
