Source: WageScape / MarketTrak — advertised-posting data from public job postings, April 1–June 30, 2026 (single quarter; no period-over-period claims). Sample: 48,209 postings across the metro's 10 highest-volume distinct occupations (vague titles excluded; overlapping title conventions consolidated to one row per occupation; rows publish only at n≥500 and above the state wage floor). Every role is a P25/P50/P75 band, never a lone median; hourly-native roles quoted per hour. Pay levels are modeled from postings; the BLS check prints each median next to the BLS OEWS benchmark with deltas computed from the printed values. Aggregates only; every figure reproduces from a saved, dated query snapshot.
