About this data
Metro wages come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS metropolitan program (May 2025) — the authoritative public source for occupational pay, reported here for the New York, NY metro area. We don't hold union scales or member submissions at metro level yet, so this page shows BLS metro data only; each figure is labeled with its source.
