About State Wage Atlas

State Wage Atlas is an independent publication of the State Wage Atlas Editorial Team. It presents employment and wage estimates by occupation for the United States in a searchable, sortable form, using figures published by US federal agencies.

Wage and employment estimates cover wage and salary jobs by occupation. Each state site covers one state; the national site compares all 50 states.

This is not a government website

State Wage Atlas is not a US government website and is not operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by any federal or state agency. Agency names appear only to identify where the data come from. No government seal, emblem or logo is used.

How the site is organized

There is one national site and one site for each of the 50 states, each on its own address. The District of Columbia is included in the national tables and in state comparisons where noted, but it is not a state and does not have a separate site.
