These statistics are for the entire OES Occupational Group,
usually NOT for an individual DOT title.
Statistics are gathered from the
Occupational Employment Survey of employers conducted in each state under
contract to the U.S. Department of Labor. Data is collected on a three year
survey schedule and adjusted twice per year at the National, State, and MSA
(Metropolitan Statistical Area) level. Data on wages and employment are
reported by occupation for full-time wage and salary workers (men and women
combined). Employment statistics are suppressed for an insufficient number of
reportable workers (usually below 50 for a given area) or for reasons of
employer confidentiality. Weekly values assume a 40-hour work week. Wages are
presented in descending order, from highest to lowest paying median wages
reported at the 50 %ile.
