I put the BLS wage data for 15 geospatial roles on a map, by state. Free, no signup, and you can link to a specific percentile.
Hey all. BLS publishes wage distributions for our occupations every year and makes them miserable to actually use, so I pulled the geospatial slice out and put it on a map.
Cartographers and Photogrammetrists: $81,390 median nationally, ranging from $53,740 at the 10th percentile to $126,950 at the 90th. Surveyors, geographers, hydrologists, geoscientists, urban planners, and the GIS-adjacent software and data roles are all in there. 15 occupations, all 50 states plus DC.
You can also link a specific percentile: thespatial.net/salary/role-cartographer?p=62 renders "62nd percentile for Cartographer", so you can ask whether an offer is low without posting your actual number.
Free, no ads, nothing to sign up for. One-person project. Happy to answer questions, and taking requests for occupations I missed. Curious whether these match what you're actually seeing: OEWS lags reality, and I'd rather hear where it's wrong.
