BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS)
Owen Brandt leads how SalaryTruth reads BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) data. The role decides which OEWS vintage and geography each occupation, state, and metro page uses, documents the methodology, and triages corrections. Wage percentiles and employment figures are drafted with AI assistance and editorially reviewed against the underlying BLS releases — every value links back to its source.
