What the published rows say about Rhode Island data center hiring

CEO / President, Data Center Platform maps to Chief Executives, SOC 11-1011. For Rhode Island, the May 2025 OEWS annual median is $235,360; the middle half runs from $181,270 to $414,180. 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 $232,910: $54,090 from the 25th percentile to the median and $178,820 from the median to the 75th. The upper interval is wider.

Percentiles are not experience bands, and this distribution alone does not explain why individual workers earn different amounts.

The local median is $21,370 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.
