Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the salary data come from?

All data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program, which surveys 1.1 million US employers annually. It is the most authoritative source of US wage data.

How is this different from Glassdoor or Indeed?

BLS data is based on actual employer payroll records from 1.1M+ establishments. Glassdoor and Indeed rely on self-reported salaries. BLS percentile data (10th through 90th) is available here completely free.

How often is data updated?

BLS publishes new OEWS data every May. This site reflects May 2025 data, the most recent release available.

Can I see salary data for my city?

Yes. We have salary data for 530+ metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) across the US, covering most major cities and regions.
