What BLS measures

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys what people employed in the occupation earn, at every level of experience. A posting advertises what a new hire is offered, so the two measure different things.

Hourly wages, BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, national. Each figure opens its BLS page.
BLS occupation10th pct25th pctMedian75th pct90th pctEmployed
Registered Nurses (29-1141)$33.14 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)$38.62 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)$46.90 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)$54.02 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)$66.09 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)3,379,720 (source: BLS OEWS, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)

The posted median ($51) is $4.10 above the BLS median ($46.90 (source: BLS OEWS May 2025, Registered Nurses, opens in a new tab)). Posted ranges run from a new hire's rate to an experienced one's, and their midpoint is counted here.

Sources and method

Only pay a job states is used: a plain hourly or yearly figure or range in US dollars, read from the job's own posting. A range counts at its midpoint. In the median and the middle half each employer's advertised range counts once, so an employer posting one range in many towns does not set the figure; an employer's own figures count its jobs one by one. "Up to" ceilings, weekly travel rates and rates under a third or over three times the occupation's median are left out. The yearly estimate is the hourly rate times 2,080 hours (40 a week). A job counts under its occupation and every occupation above it, and under every state it is open in. A page exists while at least 8 jobs from 3 employers state a rate. BLS figures are as published.
