BLS OEWS May 2025, released 2026-05-15. These are published occupation estimates, not a quote for an exact niche title. Tool calculations use BLS values or your inputs, not predictions.
How this works
The range is the BLS 25th to 75th percentile for the occupation the title maps to, with the BLS median. It describes the middle half of workers' wages in that occupation and area. It is not a recommended budget and we do not adjust it. If BLS did not release the area, we show the state or the nation and say so. Values at or above the BLS ceiling read "or more". Annual equals hourly x 2,080 in BLS convention.
