Caveats for this occupation
- OEWS covers wage and salary workers only. Self-employed project management specialists are not included.
- Figures are cross-industry. Pay can vary materially by industry within a state (e.g. federal government versus private sector).
- The “national” figure shown here is an employment-weighted aggregate of state rows, not the BLS national-table value. See the methodology.
