Occupational employment and wages from the BLS OEWS survey, by SOC occupation code, nationally or for a US state. Pass soc (e.g. 15-1252 Software Developers) and optionally a 2-letter state. Returns total employment, hourly mean wage, and annual mean + 10th/25th/median/75th/90th-percentile wages for the latest survey year. Public-domain, live-wrap. Authoritative ground-truth wages an agent must not guess — for comp benchmarking, job-offer evaluation, and labor-cost modeling.
