Where the data comes from
Two checked sources for pay and prices.
BLS shared the May 2025 OEWS data on May 15, 2026. BEA shared the 2024 Regional Price Parities on February 19, 2026. We check each source file before use. Pay and price data stay separate.

Price-level source
Exact state and metro matches from BEA.
We matched 438 BLS state and metro codes to BEA price data from 2024. We do not use a metro index for a nonmetro area. We do not fill a gap with a nearby place.

Plain-language guide
How the WageScope data bundle works
Trace the BLS and BEA data we use. Start with the source files. See how we check each file part on the server, work out new values, and build public pages.
From market data to your evidence
Tailor for a real target role job, not a generic wage number.
Pick a job post. Then build your résumé from work you have checked. BLS pay data is not proof of your skills or experience.
Private work begins only after sign-in and your confirmation. Nothing on this public page is saved.
