FAQ

About this data

Where does this salary data come from?

National role medians are drawn from BLS OEWS-style compensation data. State-specific figures are modeled by applying each state's RN wage index to the national role median — every page discloses this methodology.

Is this exact BLS state-by-role data?

No — BLS doesn't publish every specialty broken out by state. Our state estimates are a reasonable approximation, not a guarantee. Use them as a starting point for negotiation, not a contract term.

Can employers get compensation benchmarking for a whole team?

Yes — request a custom compensation intelligence package via the employer contact link below for role-mix and multi-state benchmarking.
