Current wage release
May 2025 OEWS estimates is the pinned WageScope wage source
The wage artifact uses May 2025 OEWS estimates. BLS published it on 2026-05-15. MeritLog retrieved and pinned the official files at 2026-08-31T23:35:00Z. The public data page keeps all three facts because reference period, publication date, and retrieval time are not the same thing.
The generated index contains 830 detailed occupation identities and 584 state or local area identities. The full bundle holds 223,555 official occupation-place estimates. These counts describe the local source artifact. They are not traffic, user, or job-post counts.
BLS stays the authority for every wage and employment field. MeritLog formats and compares the rows, but it does not label a derived value as a BLS value. The page links to the official tables and method so a reader can check the source outside WageScope.
