Introducing the US HR Estimated Job Salaries Dashboard — nine years of compensation intelligence, built for every market, industry, and role in America
In today’s hiring environment, compensation isn’t just an HR decision, it’s a competitive strategy. Offer too little and you lose the candidate. Offer too much without market data behind you and you erode internal equity, compress pay bands, and create problems that take years to fix. The organizations winning the talent war aren’t guessing. They’re benchmarking.
The US HR Estimated Job Salaries Dashboard gives your team the data to do exactly that.
Nine Years. 961 Roles. 51 States. 15 Industries.
Built on the most authoritative foundation available — U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OES) data spanning 2017 through 2024 — the dashboard covers 961 occupations across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, and 15 major NAICS industry classifications. For 2025, salary estimates are further strengthened by incorporating current market data from leading job boards — giving you both statistical rigor and real-time market relevance in a single number.
The result is a dataset that tells you not just what jobs pay today, but how compensation has moved over nearly a decade.
The full picture, not just one number
Most salary tools give you a median and call it a day. The US HR dashboard surfaces three key compensation benchmarks for every role: the 10th percentile, the median, and the 90th percentile. That means your team can see the entry-level floor, the typical market rate, and the ceiling that top performers command — and position your offers accordingly.
The numbers tell a compelling story on their own. Median salaries across the US have climbed 27% since 2017, from $47,060 to $59,750 in 2025. The geographic spread is equally striking: a worker in the District of Columbia earns a median salary of $77,500 — $27,400 more than a comparable worker in Arkansas. At the role level, the range is even wider, from $29,700 for entry-level service workers to $541,700 for Pediatric Surgeons. Utilities is the highest-paying sector at an $87,750 median, while Retail and Wholesale have posted some of the fastest wage growth over the period — facts that matter when you’re advising clients on sector-specific talent strategy.
Designed for decisions, not just browsing
The dashboard is built to work the way compensation teams actually think. Filter by location, industry, and job title in seconds. Compare salary ranges across states and markets side by side. Track how a specific role’s pay has trended year over year.
Whether you’re setting a new hire’s starting salary, preparing for a compensation review cycle, or advising a client on market positioning, the US HR dashboard puts the answer in front of you — not buried in a spreadsheet or locked behind a consultant’s retainer.
