How to use these career profiles

Match the listed work to the duties and responsibilities, not only the job title. Metro medians and percentiles describe workers in that occupation; they are not an offer range for one employer.

Read the three-step guide
  1. Open the closest occupation match and check which metro estimates are reported.
  2. Compare the median with the published wage distribution; percentiles are not experience levels.
  3. Read the role and national outlook notes, then verify current requirements and written offers locally.

National BLS outlook projections describe the United States as a whole, not hiring demand in a specific metro.
