Data Sources & Attributions
Last Updated: September 2026
Bespree uses public data to power salary, career, and resume tools and to publish reproducible workforce research. This page separates sources used in production from sources that remain research candidates.
Production Data Sources
These sources currently support public Bespree pages or product features.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Wage estimates and local employment density use the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics May 2025 release, retrieved by Bespree on August 28, 2026. Job outlook metrics use the Employment Projections program.
- OEWS: hourly wage percentiles, median wages, mean wages, employment counts, and jobs-per-1,000 by occupation and metro.
- Employment Projections: national job outlook, projected openings, and growth context by occupation.
- Occupational Outlook Handbook: public-domain occupation summaries, work context, training notes, and similar occupation references. We do not use BLS/OOH photos.

New York wage estimates represent the 22-county New York–Newark–Jersey City, NY–NJ metropolitan area, not individual boroughs. The home-health-aide role uses BLS’s combined 31-1120 Home Health and Personal Care Aides estimate; BLS does not publish a standalone home-health-aide estimate for this metro.
U.S. Census Bureau — American Community Survey
The NYC Frontline Wages and Borough Rents report uses the 2024 ACS 1-year B25064 table for median paid gross rent in each borough’s county equivalent, including the published 90% margins of error. Gross rent combines contract rent with renter-paid utilities; it is not asking rent or a one-bedroom estimate.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
The report shows HUD’s FY2026 one-bedroom Fair Market Rent for the New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Area separately as a 40th-percentile housing-program benchmark. It is not average rent and is not directly comparable with the ACS borough medians.

Open the NYC frontline wages and borough rents reportO*NET OnLine (USDOL/ETA)
O*NET OnLine provides occupation-related skill, knowledge, and task examples that can help you describe your experience.
This product includes information from O*NET OnLine by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA). Used under the CC BY 4.0 license. O*NET® is a trademark of USDOL/ETA.
Bespree has modified, summarized, and curated a subset of this information for use within our AI tools. USDOL/ETA has not approved, endorsed, or tested these modifications.
Current O*NET-derived salary-page data comes from public O*NET OnLine pages, not the O*NET Web Services API. If Bespree later uses the Web Services API or reuses O*NET data inside gated product surfaces, we will review the additional API terms before launch.
Bespree Proprietary Data
Certain lists of technologies, software tools, and formatting recommendations are generated by Bespree's proprietary AI systems and editorial team. These are representative examples compiled by Bespree and are not sourced directly from government datasets.
Researched Sources Not Currently Used in Production
We also evaluate public and government-backed datasets before adding new career or salary features. The sources below are tracked for future enrichment, but they are not currently treated as canonical production sources for public salary pages.
Projections Central
We tested state-level employment projection data internally, but it is deferred from production because we did not find an explicit reuse license page. We will revisit it only after written permission, a clear reuse statement, or legal signoff.
CareerOneStop
CareerOneStop was reviewed as a useful DOL/ETA-backed wrapper around wage, training, outlook, and O*NET-style data. Bespree currently prefers primary sources such as BLS and public O*NET OnLine pages for clearer provenance and source control.
BLS JOLTS and QCEW
These BLS programs are public-domain sources with strong labor market value, but they are industry-based rather than occupation-based. They are better suited to future employer or industry analytics than role-specific salary pages.
IPUMS CPS, Data.gov, and OPM
These remain possible enrichment sources rather than canonical inputs for current public salary pages. IPUMS can support deeper labor-market research but requires occupation crosswalks and statistical handling. Data.gov is a discovery catalog, and OPM focuses on federal workforce compensation, which is not a fit for the current hourly and trades salary pages.
