06 / FAQ
Salary questions, answered.
01Why are the bands different from the BLS median?
The BLS median covers all Facilities Manager in the US. These bands come from real records with known biases — H-1B filings skew to visa-eligible (high-skill) roles and tech postings skew to tech employers — so they sit above the national median. We disclose the source of every band.
02How often is this data updated?
The dataset refreshes weekly from live job postings and quarterly from new H-1B disclosures.
