Public domain. https://www.bls.gov/oes/ Equipment and parts prices: retailer listings, linked on each job page. Billed rates: a FieldPricing estimate, not a BLS figure. The multiplier is published in full at https://fieldpricing.com/methodology/ LIMITATIONS - PLEASE READ BEFORE CITING --------------------------------------- - OEWS is a sample survey, not a census. - Metro areas where BLS suppressed a figure are omitted, not estimated. This is why some trades have fewer than 49 rows. - Self-employed workers are excluded from OEWS, which understates owner-operator earnings. - Billed rate is an editorial judgement, not a measurement. - ac-repair has no single total because that page prices individual failure modes rather than one job.
