170 further metros are present in the data but below the reporting floor, so no range is published for them.
Percentiles are interpolated inside $5,000 bands summed across the 100 largest sponsors of this occupation, which is what the precomputed ranking holds — so they describe those sponsors, not the whole labour market. A page is only published when at least 25 disclosed positions across 3 employers stand behind it. Wages are what the employer attested at filing time, before the job started.
