By metro

Metros with at least 15 disclosed positions across 3 or more employers.

No metro has enough disclosed positions to break out for this occupation.

105 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.
