Corrections
If a number or a statement on WageDex looks wrong, email hello@wagedex.com with the page address, the figure, and the source you compared it with.
How do I report an error?
Three things make a report quick to check: the full address of the page, the exact figure or sentence, and what you believe the right value is with a link to the source. Where possible, compare with the official BLS tables before you write, since many apparent errors are differences of period or area.
What happens after I write?
- The figure is checked against the source file named on the page.
- If the error is in WageDex's data or in a rule that produced it, that rule or record is corrected, so every page showing the figure changes together.
- The correction is recorded in the changelog with its date.
- If the figure matches the source, the reply explains why it looks the way it does: period, area, what the survey covers, or a value BLS did not publish.
What has been corrected?
5 corrections are on record, latest first. The changelog lists them with the other data changes.
- : Publication dates corrected to BLS's release dates. Pages gave the date of BLS's workbook files as the publication date. They now give the dates BLS released the data: May 15, 2026 for wages and August 27, 2026 for projections.
- : Safety figures withdrawn and replaced with BLS fatal injury rates. The earlier fatality and injury rates, the danger index and the letter grades could not be traced to BLS, so they were withdrawn. The safety pages now show BLS's hours-based fatal injury rates for 2024, each with its margin of error.
- : New York and Oregon minimum wages show every rate. Both states set different rates by region, and pages gave one figure. Every page that states the rate now lists each rate and where it applies.
- : A zero printed by BLS no longer shows as blank. Where the projections workbook prints 0, pages treated the value as missing. They now show the 0.
- : Number of occupations paying over $100,000 corrected. The highest-paying list understated how many occupations have a median above $100,000. The count now comes from the data.
What cannot be changed here?
WageDex publishes the federal figures as released. An error in a source file itself has to be corrected by the agency that published it, and BLS revises its files on its own schedule. The site cannot remove or change an accurate published statistic at the request of an employer or a worker.
WageDex handles corrections through the address above. See the editorial policy for the standards applied.
