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 Fayetteville, NC data center hiring
BIM Manager maps to Architectural and Engineering Managers, SOC 11-9041. For Fayetteville, NC, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $159,730; the middle half runs from $143,330 to $178,710. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row. Clarify the systems this hire must own and where design responsibility ends and field support begins. The occupation estimate does not separately price a license, a platform or a travel requirement.
The middle-half spread is $35,380: $16,400 from the 25th percentile to the median and $18,980 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 $11,540 below the national $171,270 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-9041 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
