Wages are BLS OEWS May 2025 national figures for wage-and-salary workers. Growth and openings are from each trade's BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook profile (2025–35). A crosswalk match means O*NET lists this military code among occupations related to the civilian trade. It is not a license, hiring guarantee, or automatic apprenticeship credit.
