What BLS wages cover: OEWS includes base rates, guaranteed pay, commissions and production incentives. It excludes on-call waiting or availability pay, overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits. The on-call exclusion covers time awaiting a call to work, not ordinary wages for hours actually worked. These are straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation. Discuss per diem, travel and relocation separately. BLS pay-term definitions.

What the published rows say about Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN data center hiring
CEO / President, Data Center Platform maps to Chief Executives, SOC 11-1011. For Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $344,960; the middle half runs from $197,530 to $428,710. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row. Define decision authority and the scope of the team or account before setting the offer. The occupation estimate does not separately price your site's responsibilities.
The middle-half spread is $231,180: $147,430 from the 25th percentile to the median and $83,750 from the median to the 75th. The lower 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 $130,970 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.
Niles, MI reports a annual median of $210,620 for this occupation in May 2025. It is one of the two nearest usable metro reference points, measured from the Census area internal point. That is $134,340 below Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN's median.
Kenosha, WI reports a annual median of $215,930 for this occupation in May 2025. It is one of the two nearest usable metro reference points, measured from the Census area internal point. That is $129,030 below Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN's median.
The highest exact national industry medians in the loaded SOC 11-1011 rows are Rail Transportation at $667,600 and Rail Transportation at $667,600. These are May 2025 national occupation estimates, not local data center pay. The loaded data has no local industry-by-occupation breakdown, so it cannot rank industries within Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN.
An exact change from May 2024 to May 2025 is unavailable: a matched median is suppressed, top-coded or on a different wage basis. We do not substitute another area or occupation to manufacture a comparison.
OEWS includes base rates, guaranteed pay, commissions and production incentives. It excludes on-call waiting or availability pay, overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits. The on-call exclusion covers time awaiting a call to work, not ordinary wages for hours actually worked. This is neither pure base salary nor total compensation. Agree travel, per diem and relocation terms separately. No verified CEO / President, Data Center Platform-specific allowance is in this occupation row, so none is added to the figures.
