BLS Income Calculator

A small, opinionated tool over Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data. Pick an occupation and a state, and see how the typical worker's pay stacks up against the national distribution. Originally built in Angular in 2019; this is a fresh 2025 take with extrapolated wage estimates.

Data note: 2025 figures extrapolated from the May 2023 BLS OEWS release using a 4.2% annual COLA assumption. Sample of 12 high-volume occupations × 8 representative states. Use directionally, not for benchmarking.
