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.
