What belongs in the pay comparison
OEWS includes straight-time gross wages, guaranteed pay, commissions and production bonuses. It excludes overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and employer-paid benefits. It is neither pure base salary nor total compensation. For a lending or advisory seat, this is not a base-salary-only figure. Commission and production pay can already be in the BLS wage. Separate the base, the production formula and any guaranteed draw in your offer so you do not add the same pay twice. Equity and ownership distributions are not a cash wage range for the seat.
