Public Salary Benchmark Sources for Job Offers
How OfferBrief uses BLS OEWS, O*NET, and benefits data without scraping private salary platforms.
BLS OEWS
The Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program publishes wage estimates by occupation, state, and metro area. It is useful for transparent baseline ranges.
O*NET
O*NET helps map job titles and work activities to standard occupations. Mapping is imperfect, so the UI shows the SOC code and confidence instead of hiding uncertainty.
BLS Employee Benefits
Benefits tables help frame common benefit categories, but they do not value a specific employer plan. OfferBrief treats benefits as clarification prompts, not precise dollar guarantees.
