What the published rows say about Champaign-Urbana, IL data center hiring
CEO / President, Data Center Platform maps to Chief Executives, SOC 11-1011. For Champaign-Urbana, IL, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $310,740; the middle half runs from $201,810 to $432,910. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row.

The middle-half spread is $231,100: $108,930 from the 25th percentile to the median and $122,170 from the median to the 75th. The upper interval is wider. Use these points to compare an offer, not to price a junior or senior hire. Percentiles are not experience bands, and this distribution alone does not explain why individual workers earn different amounts.
The local median is $96,750 above the national $213,990 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-1011 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
