Source: BLS OEWS, 2025 · Ranges are 25th–75th percentile of reported wages for the occupation code · All workers, regardless of gender.
Women are 4% of construction and extraction occupations nationally, and earn 82¢ 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, and that is the point.

National salary data is the starting point. Your career isn’t average.
That is what the occupation pays. Four quick questions — your situation, your role, where you work and your level, plus what you earn now if you want — and Págame shows you where you stand against it, with the gap in dollars. No account, and no résumé required.
