BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Yuma, AZ covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide AZ data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
