New interactive dashboard puts a decade of U.S. salary data at your fingertips

For industry-level detail, the dashboard includes a dedicated breakdown comparing sectors like Web Search Portals, Media Streaming, Securities and Commodities, Publishing, and Scientific Research, with year-over-year figures stretching back to 2022. This lets users see not just which industries pay the most, but how quickly those numbers are moving — critical intelligence for anyone benchmarking compensation or building a workforce strategy.

Rounding out the toolkit is a national average-per-industry trend chart spanning 2019 to 2025, plotting multiple industries side-by-side. It’s an at-a-glance way to answer the question every compensation analyst eventually asks: which industries are pulling ahead, and which are falling behind?

What sets this dashboard apart is its interactivity. Two filter controls, Select Location and Select Industry, let users instantly reshape every chart and table on the page around their specific question, whether that’s “How does software publishing pay in California compare to the national average?” or “Which states have seen the fastest salary growth since 2020?” No spreadsheets, no manual pivot tables — just point, click, and explore.

Whether you’re a compensation professional benchmarking pay bands, a job seeker evaluating relocation options, a journalist chasing a wage-growth story, or an executive tracking talent-market pressure, this dashboard turns raw government wage data into a usable, visual decision-making tool.

The takeaway: pay trends that once took hours to compile from scattered government tables are now available in seconds, filtered exactly how you need them. For anyone whose work touches compensation, workforce planning, or labor market analysis, this dashboard is worth adding to the toolkit.
