The full pay distribution
Not one number — the spread from the bottom 10% to the top 10% of filed salaries.
Where it pays the most
Median salary by metro — the bar in amber is the U.S. median for comparison.
How pay grows with experience
From entry to expert, by reported wage level.
How exposed is it to AI?
Two things matter: how much AI is actually used in the role today (right),
and how much it could automate in theory (up). Partially affected.

How this is built. Median pay and the full distribution come from filed U.S. wage data
(BLS OEWS + DOL/LCA filings); AI exposure blends O*NET task content with model-based automation potential;
escape routes are computed from skill overlap between occupations, then ranked by how much safer + better-paid the
move is. This joins real distributions and projects them forward — it needs the real distributions
and the skill graph, not a guess. Figures describe group medians and trends, not any one person's outcome.
