Wage Intelligence

BLS wage data for skilled-trades hiring.

Instant salary benchmarks by trade, region, and experience level — plus occupational profiles powered by BLS OEWS and O*NET.

Overview

A BLS OEWS + O*NET wage-intelligence platform for trade contractors and industrial employers. Instant benchmarks for 10+ trade categories, salary-band generation, and full O*NET profiles (skills, tasks, Job Zone, knowledge) — seeded from authoritative US data and priced for SMB budgets.

The problem

Trade contractors (10–200 employees) can't reliably benchmark skilled-trades wages. Mis-priced offers cause rejections and $5,600–$14,000 re-recruit cycles; underpayment drives $13K–$26K-per-departure turnover. Enterprise tools cost $50K+/yr; raw BLS needs hours of spreadsheet work.

Key features
