The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) publishes a large amount of information on the wages,
earnings, and benefits of workers. Generally, this information is categorized
in one or more of the following ways:
- Geographic area (national regional, state, metropolitan area,
or county data);
- Occupation (such as teacher); and
- Industry (such as manufacturing).
Additional categories, such as age, sex, or union membership, may
be used in some cases.
