How fresh the source is
County prices for 2022 (the latest year the Department of Labor has published; the database lags by several years)
Limits
Full-time weekly prices only (no part-time or hourly prices). The latest year is 2022, so today's prices are likely higher. County level only: no city, ZIP or state figure is published in the county file. Some county figures are estimated by the Department of Labor (see the quality flag in extra and the DOL technical report). The school-age series carries no quality flag. Dollars are as published for the year, not inflation-adjusted by us.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
