Field notes
The controls let visitors switch between all occupations and a selected job, with the page describing a search across 820 occupations that have state pay tables. State comparisons can also be adjusted using BEA Regional Price Parities. The methodology notes that BLS publishes five wage percentiles; ranks between them are estimated, and the site labels its top-5% and top-1% thresholds as modeled.
