U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS data is the standard public reference for occupational wages in the United States, covering 800+ occupations with national and state-level medians updated annually. Career-University is a hiring intelligence platform that benchmarks your job posting's compensation against the BLS median for the matched occupation and returns the dollar gap plus a market-position label. The benchmark is a starting point for setting an offer band, not a personal-fit number.
