SalaryDatabase.net publishes median wage data for 59 occupations across all 50 US states and the District of Columbia — 2,937 occupation-by-state pages in total. Each page shows the median annual wage, the equivalent hourly wage, how many people work in that occupation in that state, how the figure compares with the national median, and a city-by-city breakdown where the source data covers it.
Every figure on this site comes from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS). We download the public dataset directly from the publishing agency and republish it here in a form that is easier to look up. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of that agency or any government body.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases this data once a year. When a new release is published we re-run our pipeline and regenerate every page, so the figures on the site and the reference year in each page footer always match the latest official release.
SalaryDatabase.net is an independent data-publishing project. We are not a recruitment agency, a college, a lender or a broker, and we do not sell the products and services that appear in the advertisements on these pages.
The site is free to use and supported by display advertising. Advertisers have no input into the data, the methodology, the rankings, or the order in which items are listed.
If a figure looks wrong, please tell us — we read every report and correct the underlying dataset where it is warranted. See the contact page.
