About This Data

Wage data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) May 2025 estimates. See the official OEWS tables. BLS publishes estimates by metro and nonmetropolitan area rather than by county; figures on this page reflect the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA area.

Hourly wages are approximated using a standard 2,080-hour work year. A "+" marks a top-coded estimate, where BLS caps the series at $239,200 and the true value is at least that much; figures above that without a "+" are published values.
