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.
The posted median ($44.75) is $6.23 above the BLS median ($38.52 (source: BLS OEWS May 2025, Radiologic Technologists and Technicians, 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.
