Different evidence answers different questions.

Government filings show offered base wages, not actual employee total compensation. Pay cohorts are published groups with at least five samples; overlapping groups are counted separately, and their samples are never added together. See how we compare pay.

Employer sectors use NAICS codes from their government filings. We assign the most frequently evidenced sector; ties and employers without sector evidence stay outside these counts. A career can span many employer industries.
