Source: BLS OEWS, 2025 · Ranges are 25th–75th percentile of reported wages for the occupation code · All workers, regardless of gender.
Women are 49% of life, physical, and social science occupations nationally, and earn 94¢ for every dollar men earn (U.S. Census ACS 2024; earnings full-time year-round). A market-based target is computed the same way regardless of gender — that’s the point.
National salary data is the starting point. Your career isn’t average.
