Advisor Roadmap data sources, reuse terms and downloads
Advisor Roadmap's data sources are official and primary sources, led by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Job and pay figures come from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey for May 2025, and the ten-year job outlook from BLS Employment Projections for 2025 to 2035. Skills and tasks come from the O*NET® 31.01 database, price levels from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), licensing rules and registration counts from FINRA, NASAA, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and state regulators, and certification rules from CFP Board.
For personal financial advisors (SOC 13-2052), BLS publishes employment and pay by state and metro area in its OEWS tables, and BLS material is in the public domain2. This page offers those figures, plus the same figures for securities and insurance sales agents, as free CSV files with the source on every row and the citation already written.

Which sources does the site use, and how current is each?
One row per source, grouped by type.
If you are weighing a move into advising from another job, check the release year beside any figure you read, here or elsewhere, because each new release replaces the one before it. Why the surveys report different advisor counts is explained on How we make these pages.
Federal data
| Source | Release used | What it counts | Reuse terms | How often it updates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) | May 2025, released 3 | Wage and salary jobs reported by employers, no self-employed. The three-year sample covers about 57%8 of US employment | Public domain2, cite BLS | Every year13, usually late March or early April8 |
| BLS Employment Projections | 2025 to 2035, released 4 | All jobs, including the self-employed, who were 9.7%14 of personal financial advisors in 2025 | Public domain2, cite BLS | Every year15 |
| BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook | Updated with the 2025 to 2035 projections | Number of jobs is employment in the base year of the projections16. Pay comes from the OEWS survey16 | Public domain2, cite BLS | Outlook and pay every year17 |
| BLS Current Population Survey | 2025 annual averages | People by the main job they held, self-employed included. Used only for the age profile of advisors | Public domain2, cite BLS | Every year, with the annual averages |
| O*NET database | Version 31.01, August 20265 | Skills, tasks and work activities for each occupation, with importance ratings | CC BY 4.011, attribution required | Every quarter, with the main update in the third quarter1 |
| BEA Regional Price Parities | 2024, released 6 | Price levels by state and metro area against the US average | Not protected by copyright12, cite BEA with the vintage | Next release 9 |
Occupations follow the federal Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. Personal financial advisors are 13-2052, securities, commodities and financial services sales agents are 41-3031, and insurance sales agents are 41-3021.
Regulators and rule text
| Source | What the site takes from it | Reuse terms | How it stays current |
|---|---|---|---|
| FINRA, the regulator of brokerage firms and the people registered with them | Exam and registration rules, continuing education rules, registration fees, and registered representative counts from the Industry Snapshot | Cited and linked only, because FINRA's terms say no database may be built from the FINRA website unless other FINRA terms allow it18 | Industry Snapshot once a year19. Rules as in force on the date read |
| NASAA, the association of US state securities regulators and their counterparts in Canada and Mexico | Series 63, 65 and 66 exam facts and which states require continuing education for an investment adviser representative (IAR) | Cited and linked only, since NASAA site content says reuse needs written permission20 | Rules as in force on the date read |
| SEC and federal rule text | Registered investment adviser and broker-dealer registration rules, from the SEC, the eCFR and GovInfo | Not protected by copyright12 as US government work | Rules as in force on the date read |
Nothing on the site comes from FINRA's records about individual people or firms, including disciplinary records.
State regulators and state law
Each state guide cites that state's securities regulator, its insurance department and the state law or rule behind each step and fee. Where a state publishes its rules only through a legal publisher, the site links the copy at Cornell's Legal Information Institute, whose terms say links to its pages are welcome21. Where a copy and the regulator's own text differ, the regulator's text wins. Each state source is cited on its state guide and listed in the full registry below.
Credential bodies and other primary sources
CFP Board is the source for CFP® certification requirements and for how the marks are written. A few pages cite the agency that owns one specific rule, such as a public pension plan's published vesting rule on a from-your-job page, stated as a fact with a note to check your own plan. Each is cited and linked where it is used.
Can I download BLS data on financial advisor jobs and pay by state and metro?
Yes. Three CSV files hold BLS data on personal financial advisors (13-2052), securities, commodities and financial services sales agents (41-3031) and insurance sales agents (41-3021), and a fourth holds BEA price levels, all free and with no sign-up.
They are the data behind the career map, the city pages and the state guides.
BLS publishes the complete May 2025 files for every occupation and area as zipped spreadsheets on its OEWS tables page. The files here are cut to the three advisor occupations, in plain CSV, with the source link, release and fact record on every row.
- Personal financial advisors and related jobs by state, BLS OEWS May 2025 Employment, jobs per thousand, location quotient, mean wage and wage percentiles from the bottom tenth to the top tenth, relative standard errors, for 13-2052, 41-3031 and 41-3021 in every state and the District of Columbia, plus US totals BLS OEWS, May 2025 CSV
- Personal financial advisors and related jobs by metro area, BLS OEWS May 2025 The same columns for every metro area where BLS publishes an estimate BLS OEWS, May 2025 CSV
- Personal financial advisors and related jobs, ten-year outlook, BLS Employment Projections 2025 to 2035 Employment in 2025 and 2035, change, yearly openings and share self-employed for the same three occupations BLS Employment Projections, 2025 to 2035 CSV
- Price levels by state and metro area, BEA Regional Price Parities 2024 All-items price parities for the states and metro areas covered on the site BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024 CSV

What the columns and marks mean
| Column or mark | What it means22 |
|---|---|
| Location quotient | An occupation's share of jobs in the area divided by its share of jobs in the whole US, so above one means more concentrated than the US22 |
| Relative standard error | The model error of the employment estimate as a percentage of the estimate, so higher means less reliable22 |
| Wage percentiles | Each percentile is a boundary, so the tenth percentile wage is the wage that a tenth of workers in the occupation earn less than8 |
| ** in an employment column | BLS mark meaning the employment estimate is not available22 |
| * in a wage column | BLS mark meaning the wage estimate is not available22 |
Where BLS published no estimate, the file keeps its mark rather than filling the gap. Wage columns are BLS survey figures for all employers in that area. They are not what any one person or firm pays, and not a guide to what any reader will earn. Each file holds one release, and BLS says OEWS data are less useful for tracking changes in pay over time.
The jobs files count wage and salary jobs only, so they show fewer advisors than BLS projections or Census surveys, which add the self-employed. How we make these pages explains which count each page uses.
The source data is public and the files add no license of their own, so cite the original publisher as shown below. Fee and exam rule tables are not offered as files, because FINRA and NASAA terms limit reuse of their content.
How do I cite the data?
Cite the agency that published the figure first, then the file if you used one.
- BLS. For OEWS data BLS suggests Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, [date accessed] [www.bls.gov/oes/]8.
- BEA. BEA suggests giving the publisher, table name, link, date accessed and the vintage of the estimates23.
- O*NET data. Attribution is required under the license. The exact wording is in the next section.
- A file from this page. Add "compiled by Advisor Roadmap", the file name and the date you downloaded it after the agency citation. Each file holds its own cite line in its first rows. For the state file it reads like this.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, personal financial advisors (13-2052) by state, www.bls.gov/oes/, accessed <date>. Compiled by Advisor Roadmap, file "Personal financial advisors and related jobs by state, BLS OEWS May 2025", downloaded <date>.
Which credit and trademark notices does the site follow?
Some sources set rules for how they are credited.
The site follows them in full here, and every page that uses the source carries a short version in its footer.
- O*NET data. O*NET® is a trademark of the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA). The site uses the name only as an adjective, as in O*NET data, and shows the attribution below on every page that uses O*NET data. Pages that rearrange or summarize O*NET data carry the second form. The O*NET database license sets these terms.
- BLS. The BLS emblem is a registered trademark and is not to be used without authorization2, so the site never shows it. Citing BLS does not mean BLS endorses the site. See the BLS copyright notice.
- BEA. BEA's logo is not used, and citing BEA does not mean BEA endorses the site.
- FINRA. FINRA's terms of use allow links on conditions, one being that no link may make a site look associated with or sponsored by FINRA. The site links FINRA pages on those terms, and citing FINRA does not mean FINRA endorses or approves the site.
- CFP Board. The site writes the marks the way CFP Board's rules require, in capitals with the ® symbol and an approved noun, as in CFP® certification.
What changed at the latest refresh?
| Source | What changed |
|---|---|
| BLS OEWS | May 2025 estimates released 3, later than the usual late March or early April8. BLS now publishes exact wage figures for many top percentiles that older releases showed only as at or above a fixed cap, so pages built on earlier releases show a capped or blank top end |
| BLS Employment Projections | The outlook moved to the 2025 to 2035 decade on 4. BLS now projects 1%25 growth for personal financial advisors over that decade. Rates from earlier projection decades differ, so check the years attached to any rate you see |
| O*NET database | Version 31.01 arrived in August 20265. For personal financial advisors, its tasks, work activities and knowledge ratings still come from an occupational expert survey from 202426 |
| BEA Regional Price Parities | 2024 price levels released 6, with earlier years revised |
| FINRA | FINRA's statistics page no longer shows firm and representative counts and points readers to the Industry Snapshot, so every count on the site now cites the Snapshot |
| Licensing rules | Shorter FINRA exam retake waits take effect 27. Cost and time to get licensed shows the waits before and after |
When a release lands, the pages that use it are updated to the new figures, with a dated note saying what moved. To report a wrong number, use the contact link in any page footer. Confirmed corrections are listed on About Advisor Roadmap.
Full source registry
The registry lists every source behind every page, including each state regulator, insurance department and rule, with the release used, reuse terms, next update and the date each record was last checked.
It is built from the same fact records the pages print, so the two match.

Questions people ask
What is the SOC code for a financial advisor?
Personal financial advisors are 13-2052 in the federal Standard Occupational Classification, which describes them as advising clients on financial plans using knowledge of tax and investment strategies, securities, insurance, pension plans and real estate. BLS's examples of the job include estate planner, individual pension adviser and personal investment adviser. People whose main job is buying and selling securities for clients are a separate code, 41-3031, which 13-2052 excludes. That is why the files here carry both codes, so a reader can see each group on its own.
Is BLS and O*NET data free to reuse?
Why are some states blank for personal financial advisors?
BLS did not publish those May 2025 estimates. Employment is not published for Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and Montana. Wages are not published for Louisiana and Maine28. The state file keeps the BLS mark in those cells, ** for employment and * for wages, instead of filling the gap.
When is the next data release?
