## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative occupation wage and employment statistics keyed by job title — especially when you want to filter by state. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable labor market data (median wages, employment counts) tied to standardized SOC occupation codes.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the title keyword doesn't match any known occupation titles
- State filter may return empty results for rare occupations with insufficient sample sizes
- Ambiguous job title keywords may return too many loosely matched occupations
- Missing or malformed 'title' parameter results in a validation error since it is required
