Description

Occupational earnings percentiles, estimated at user-selected percentiles, and based on Lightcast's occupational earnings dataset. At the moment, this dataset is US only. Percentiles can be calculated for the nation, states, counties, or ZIP codes for one or more occupations. The aggregation of these wage curves is done using a sophisticated model which yields significantly better results than simple weighted averaging of published percentiles.

Use Cases

Questions answered by this dataset:

• What are the 50th, 90th, and 99th percentile earnings for CEOs in the state of Washington?
• If we group Welders, Team Assemblers, and other manufacturing positions, what does the combined wage curve look like?

Metrics

• Hourly or annual percentile wages at user-selected percentiles.
