- Jtsummers 2y ago> That doesn't match my experience on both ends of the hiring table. Congratulations, your experience is limited. The BLS stats represent the actual US salary data, not just your limited experience. If you want to make a claim about salaries in the US then look at data across the US and not just whatever is true within your limited bubble. > And forgive me if forwarding the BLS statistics to candidates doesn't get them to accept offers Did I ever even suggest such a thing?
