Charted separately: overtime is 4.9–8.2% of total wages in the years shown (the source's total-wages figure includes overtime).

The charts have no point for 2020 and 2023. The Controller's 2020 and 2023 files contain no Port of Oakland cost centers (25 in 2020, 26 in 2023 reporting units vs 80–90 in other years), so this source reports no Port payroll at all for 2020 and 2023 — a gap in the source files, not a year in which the Port paid no wages. Every other year in the range is present.

Sum of 78 Port cost-center wage series (same set for overtime). Cost centers appear and retire with Port reorganizations; sums cover whatever centers reported each year. Per-center series are in the CSV.

Source: California State Controller. 956 facts, 156 metrics, 2015–2024. Port of Oakland cost centers only; the citywide totals are on the Citywide page. CSV

State Controller payroll figures are calendar-year (January–December) totals. The budget and ACFR figures elsewhere on this page are July–June fiscal years labeled by their end year, so the two are on different bases and the years are not comparable.
