The Occupational Employment Statistics and Wages (OES) program produces employment and wage estimates for over 800 occupations. These are estimates of the number of people employed in certain occupations and the wages paid to them. The wage data has not been validated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and are not official BLS data series; however, EDD Labor Market Information Division feels that the additional information is useful to users of our wage data.
For more information about how the data is compiled and suggested use visit OES Wages About the data.
Wage data for all geographical areas have been updated to the first quarter of 2018 by applying the U. S. Department of Labor's Employment Cost Index to the 2010 SOC wage database. The occupational employment estimates are for May 2017. For more information on the data methodology visit OES Survey FAQs.
