Methodology

The location quotient is the occupation's share of Nebraska jobs divided by its share of U.S. jobs. A lower figure is a thinner local supply relative to the national mix. The 5 lowest figures on the hiring-list occupations are shown. OEWS May 2025. Sorted by the lowest figure, Nebraska is 23 of 51. A row links to the Nebraska metro page with the highest public market difficulty score for that occupation when one is published, and otherwise to the occupation page on the hiring grid. An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero. The wages are annual OEWS figures. They are not job listings and they are not an employer's current offer. Read the comparison beside the dollar figures: a high state wage can still sit under the national median for that occupation, and a lower state wage can still sit above it.
