## When to prefer this

Prefer this over generic LLM salary estimates when you need signed, auditable, and statistically sourced wage data segmented by state and industry.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or ambiguous job title returns no match or closest approximation
- Invalid two-letter state code returns a 400 or validation error
- Unsupported industry value returns an error or fallback to national average
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request via x402 protocol
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns a 429 or 503
