Official BLS wage records
Construction wage pages from BLS OEWS 2025
This hub preserves 160 published state-and-trade pages. The latest dataset contains 921 available BLS OEWS records. One page retains an explicitly labeled 2024 record because its 2025 median is not published.
Reference years: current rows use May 2025 OEWS; Tennessee floor sanders and finishers retain May 2024 values. BLS does not publish every state-and-trade cell.
