How this page is built
2025–35 National Employment Matrix, total all occupations row for each 3-digit NAICS industry (employment in thousands of jobs, including self-employed where the Matrix assigns them to the industry). Industries with at least 100,000 jobs in 2025. Descriptive estimates; no causal claims. Since May 2025, OEWS publishes specific values for many wages above $239,200 a year; where BLS still publishes only “$239,200 or more”, that is what is shown. Data are in the public domain.
- Any one employer: these are national estimates for an occupation within an industry.
- Self-employed workers: OEWS counts wage and salary jobs only.
- Cause and effect: different industry wages do not mean changing industries will change anyone's pay.
