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 State College, PA data center hiring

CEO / President, Data Center Platform maps to Chief Executives, SOC 11-1011. For State College, PA, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $203,960; the middle half runs from $156,020 to $357,660. 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 $201,640: $47,940 from the 25th percentile to the median and $153,700 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 $10,030 below 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.

Altoona, PA reports a annual median of $197,360 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 $6,600 below State College, PA's median.

Williamsport, PA reports a annual median of $233,920 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 $29,960 above State College, PA's median.

The matched median moved from $172,160 in May 2024 to $203,960 in May 2025: $31,800 higher. Both rows use SOC 11-1011, area 44300 and the same annual basis. This is not adjusted for inflation or annualized, and it does not attribute the change to a particular employer.

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.

BIM Manager maps to Architectural and Engineering Managers, SOC 11-9041. For State College, PA, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $150,520; the middle half runs from $131,140 to $164,980. 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 $33,840: $19,380 from the 25th percentile to the median and $14,460 from the median to the 75th. The lower interval is wider.
