Data source: Salary figures are sourced from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program, which surveys employers across the U.S. each year to collect wage data by occupation and geography. The four experience levels (I–IV) are DOL's standardized tiers ranging from entry-level to fully competent. Data reflects the most recently published survey cycle and may not capture real-time market fluctuations. SOC code: 13-1161.
