How to read these figures

Offered and prevailing wages are employer-reported on each DOL filing, annualized to year rates. The average mixes experience levels, localities, and years.

The benchmark is the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics national median for this occupation, latest available year. An average set against a median: a few very high offers pull the average up.

A certified filing is an approved application, not a confirmed hire. These comparisons are screening measures, not wage-law findings.

Context & calculation noteswage definitions and benchmark scope

Offered and prevailing wages are employer-reported on each DOL filing, annualized to year rates. The average mixes experience levels, localities, and years.

The benchmark is the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics national median for this occupation (U.S.), latest available year. The average is set against a median, so a few very high offers pull the average up.

The distribution and percentiles cover annualized offers only; filings with hourly or other wage units sit outside them.

A certified filing is an approved labor condition application, not a confirmed hire. The comparisons on this page are screening measures, not wage-law findings.
