Methodology & data sources
Industry medians are derived from Bureau of Labor Statistics JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey), BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, SHRM benchmarking reports, OSHA injury data, and ATD training investment surveys. BLS metrics update in real time when available; other benchmarks reflect the most recent published figures. "Your Co." values are sample defaults and can be edited inline to reflect your organization's data. All percentage-point (pp) variances use absolute differences for accuracy.
