How each number should be read
  • Pay percentiles describe the spread of pay across everyone in the occupation, not experience levels.
  • Employment counts are jobs, not people hired during the year.
  • Projected annual openings are a decade average from the official projection, not current vacancies.
  • O*NET skill ratings describe the work, not employer hiring demand.
  • Values BLS did not publish, suppressed, or top-coded are shown as such and never treated as zero.
