What this dataset cannot tell you
- Metro figures describe the whole metropolitan statistical area, not city limits.
- Blank values are not published by BLS (suppressed or not available).
- Wages are not adjusted for prices; do not compare across places as purchasing power.
- No metro projections exist; none are implied.
