The comparison uses each hall's held official base rate before fringes and the BLS OEWS May 2025 statewide and metropolitan-area medians for all employers, union and non-union. "At" means within 5% of the median. The metro median appears only when the hall city is a Census principal city of a metro with a published BLS figure, otherwise "Not published"; a hall's metro is not its jurisdiction, and classifications and effective dates differ. These are not Gulfstream job offers. Locals without an official rate are left out rather than estimated. Gulfstream is independent of every union.
