US Jobs Map is an independent job index for the United States. It does two things that most job boards do not: it pairs every listing with the official federal wage distribution for that occupation in that metropolitan area, and it says plainly where each listing came from.
A job title on its own tells you very little. “Warehouse associate in Chicago” means something different depending on whether the local median is $34,000 or $46,000, and whether the role is concentrated in that metro or barely present. That context is published every year by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and is free for anyone to use — but almost no job site puts it next to the listings. We do.
Every wage figure on this site — median, 10th and 90th percentile, hourly median, employment count, and location quotient — comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) programme, May 2025 release. It covers 528 metropolitan areas and roughly 1,100 detailed occupations. It is a work of the U.S. federal government and is in the public domain.
The location quotient is worth explaining, because it is the figure you will not find elsewhere. It compares how concentrated an occupation is locally against the national average. A quotient of 1.84 means that occupation is 1.84× as dense in that metro as it is nationally — a signal that the local market for it is unusually deep.
Openings are collected on a recurring schedule from licensed job-search APIs, public employer applicant-tracking boards, and federal government vacancy feeds. Every listing keeps its source attribution and links back to the original posting.
We do not host applications, collect résumés, or stand between you and an employer. Clicking a listing takes you to whoever published it. The full source list, with licensing terms, is on the home page.
Listings refresh every six hours. Anything not seen in the last 14 days drops out of the index, so pages do not accumulate dead links. Wage data is refreshed when BLS publishes its annual release.
Pages with fewer than five current openings are excluded from search engines rather than published as thin filler.
If a listing is stale, mis-attributed, or should be removed, or if a wage figure looks wrong, write to [email protected] and we will correct it. See Contact for what to include.
