The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program produces employment and wage estimates annually for nearly 800 occupations. These estimates are available for the nation as a whole, for individual states, and for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; national occupational estimates for specific industries are also available.
Economists in the BLS Office of Employment Research and Program Development have developed an alternative model-based estimation methodology (MB3) for the Occupational Employment Statistics program. Research estimates based on the MB3 methodology are available to the public for review and comment. The OES program is considering changing the estimation methodology to MB3 due to advantages over the existing methodology, as described in the Monthly Labor Review article.
