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 District of Columbia data center hiring
AI Cluster Deployment Manager maps to Computer and Information Systems Managers, SOC 11-3021. For District of Columbia, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $195,190; the middle half runs from $167,590 to $223,160. This is a broader occupation, not a separate wage estimate for this exact job. BLS does not separate seniority titles that share this row. Tell candidates whether the job is ticket-led work, deployment or independent fault-finding. Titles can share a BLS row even when the floor responsibilities and shift expectations differ.
The middle-half spread is $55,570: $27,600 from the 25th percentile to the median and $27,970 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 $20,050 above the national $175,140 on the same annual basis. Both rows cover SOC 11-3021 in May 2025. This is a wage comparison, not a cost-of-living adjustment or evidence of a separate data center premium.
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV reports a annual median of $195,190 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 $0 above District of Columbia's median.
Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD reports a annual median of $168,520 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 $26,670 below District of Columbia's median.
