In 2007, the titles were updated to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) December 2003 area definitions. The new area definitions may be found at the U.S. Census Bureau site www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro.html.

To find pay relatives for a Metropolitan Statistical Area survey of interest,  click on a State in the map or in the Table, or scroll down this page. To see National data, click on NATIONAL .

Over-the-year changes in area and occupational pay relatives do not infer changes in underlying economic conditions.
