About this data
The average weekly wage of all jobs covered by unemployment insurance (nearly all jobs) located in the area, from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which counts employers’ tax filings rather than a survey. Wages are in current dollars and include bonuses, so fourth quarters run high; compare a quarter with the same quarter a year earlier. Each quarter comes out about five months after it ends.
