How do you map titles if BLS does not track them separately?

We map titles to the closest existing occupational classification from BLS, noting the limitations of using broader classifications.

Can I adjust these numbers for specific plant shifts?

No: These figures represent the aggregate wage distribution and do not account for shift differentials.

Why would the median change be negative?

The median change represents the difference between the 2024 and 2025 surveys, reflecting shifts in market data reported to the BLS.
