Output
Returns a JSON object containing a wages array where each entry includes the occupation code, occupation title, annual and hourly wages at the 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles, as well as annual and hourly median wages. Also includes the total count of matching records, the original query parameters echoed back, and a source attribution string indicating the BLS data origin.
Example use cases
Salary benchmarking for job seekers
“What's the median annual salary and the 90th percentile wage for registered nurses (SOC code 29-1141) in New York? I want to know if my job offer is competitive.”
Career counseling wage comparison
“Pull up the BLS wage data for civil engineers, SOC code 17-2051 — I need the full percentile breakdown, hourly and annual, to help a student understand the earning range.”
Market research for app pricing

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://data.aptibuildai.com/data/occupations/wagesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured BLS wage data tied to a specific SOC occupation code, especially when you want percentile breakdowns (10th, 25th, 75th, 90th) at both hourly and annual granularity. It is ideal for salary benchmarking, career research, workforce analytics, or building compensation-aware applications. Prefer this over generic web search when you need machine-readable, structured wage data with consistent schema. The optional state filter makes it useful for geographic wage comparisons.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid occ_code parameter returns an error — the SOC code is required and must be a valid BLS format (e.g. '15-1252')
- Non-existent or misspelled state name may return zero results rather than an error
- SOC codes with no BLS wage data on record return an empty wages array with count 0
- Malformed SOC code format (e.g. missing hyphen) may cause a lookup failure
- Payment failure (402) if the x402 payment is not completed before the request
