                  OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES -- MAY 2019


Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations had employment of 5.7 million in
May 2019, representing 3.9 percent of total national employment, the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics reported today. The largest installation, maintenance, and repair
occupation was general maintenance and repair workers (1.4 million) and the highest
paying installation, maintenance, and repair occupation was powerhouse, substation,
and relay electrical and electronics repairers ($81,280). The annual mean wage across
all installation, maintenance, and repair occupations was $50,130, compared with the
U.S. average wage of $53,490. (See table 1.)

The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program provides employment and wage
estimates for nearly 800 occupations in the nation, states, and approximately 530
areas. National data are available by industry for approximately 415 industry
classifications and by ownership across all industries, schools, and hospitals.
This news release features installation, maintenance, and repair; sales and related;
and community and social service occupations, in addition to STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics) occupations and employment and wages by typical entry-
level educational requirement. National employment and wage information for all 
occupations is shown in table 1.

Typical entry-level education

  --Occupations typically requiring postsecondary education for entry made up 38 percent
    of employment. The largest postsecondary category, occupations typically requiring
    a bachelor's degree for entry, made up 22 percent of employment. This educational
    category includes registered nurses; teachers at the kindergarten through secondary
    levels; and many management, business and financial operations, computer, and
    engineering occupations.

  --Occupations typically requiring a high school diploma or the equivalent for entry
    made up 38 percent of employment, and occupations typically requiring no formal
    educational credential for entry made up 24 percent of employment. These two
    educational categories include most production and construction occupations, as
    well as large occupations such as retail salespersons, fast food and counter workers,
    and cashiers.

    associate's degree for entry, and transportation, storage, and distribution managers
    ($103,320), which typically require a high school diploma or the equivalent.

The typical education level required to enter an occupation is based on education and
training categories from the BLS Employment Projections program. More information about 
the system of education and training categories is available at
www.bls.gov/emp/documentation/education/tech.htm. Typical entry-level educational
requirements assigned to each occupation in the May 2019 OES estimates are available

Technical Note
 
Scope of the survey

The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a semiannual survey measuring
occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in nonfarm
establishments in the United States. The OES data available from BLS include cross-
industry occupational employment and wage estimates for the nation; over 580 areas,
including states and the District of Columbia, metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs),
nonmetropolitan areas, and territories; national industry-specific estimates at the
NAICS sector, 3-digit, most 4-digit, and selected 5- and 6-digit industry levels;
and national estimates by ownership across all industries and for schools and hospitals.

The OES survey is a cooperative effort between BLS and the State Workforce Agencies
(SWAs). BLS funds the survey and provides the procedures and technical support, while
the State Workforce Agencies collect most of the data. OES estimates are constructed
from a sample of about 1.1 million establishments. Each year, two semiannual panels
of approximately 180,000 to 200,000 sampled establishments are contacted, one panel
in May and the other in November. Responses are obtained by mail, Internet or other
electronic means, email, telephone, or personal visit. The May 2019 estimates are based
on responses from six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period: May 2019,
November 2018, May 2018, November 2017, May 2017, and November 2016. The unweighted
sampled employment of 83 million across all six semiannual panels represents
approximately 57 percent of total national employment. The overall national response
rate for the six panels, based on the 50 states and the District of Columbia, is 71
percent based on establishments and 68 percent based on weighted sampled employment. 

The occupational coding system

The May 2019 OES estimates contain nearly 800 occupational categories based on the
Office of Management and Budget’s Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.
Together, these occupations make up 22 of the 23 SOC major occupational groups. Major
group 55, Military Specific Occupations, is not included. 

For more information about the SOC system, please see the BLS website at www.bls.gov/soc/.

The May 2019 OES estimates are the first set of OES estimates to be based in part on
survey data collected using the 2018 SOC. These estimates use a hybrid of the 2010 and
2018 SOC systems. For more information on the hybrid classification system used in the
May 2019 OES estimates, please see the "Changes to the May 2019 estimates" section of
this technical note.

The industry coding system

The May 2019 OES estimates use the 2017 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). For more information about NAICS, see the BLS website at www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm.

The OES survey excludes the majority of the agricultural sector, with the exception of
logging (NAICS 113310), support activities for crop production (NAICS 1151), and support
activities for animal production (NAICS 1152). Private households (NAICS 814) also are
excluded. OES federal government data include the U.S. Postal Service and the federal
executive branch only. All other industries, including state and local government, are
covered by the survey.

Survey sample

The OES survey draws its sample from state unemployment insurance (UI) files. Supplemental
sources are used for rail transportation (NAICS 4821) and Guam because they do not report
to the UI program. The OES survey sample is stratified by metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
area, industry, and size.

To provide the most occupational coverage, larger employers are more likely to be
selected than smaller employers. A census is taken of the executive branch of the federal
government, the U.S. Postal Service, and state government.

Concepts

Occupational employment is the estimate of total wage and salary employment in an 
occupation. The OES survey defines employment as the number of workers who can be 
classified as full- or part-time employees, including workers on paid vacations or 
other types of paid leave; workers on unpaid short-term absences; salaried officers,
executives, and staff members of incorporated firms; employees temporarily assigned
to other units; and employees for whom the reporting unit is their permanent duty station,
regardless of whether that unit prepares their paycheck. The survey does not include the
self-employed, owners and partners in unincorporated firms, household workers, or unpaid
family workers.

Wages for the OES survey are straight-time, gross pay, exclusive of premium pay. Base rate;
cost-of-living allowances; guaranteed pay; hazardous-duty pay; incentive pay, including
commissions and production bonuses; and tips are included. Excluded are overtime pay,
severance pay, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses, employer cost for supplementary
benefits, and tuition reimbursements.

OES receives wage rate data for the federal government, the U.S. Postal Service, and most
state governments. For the remaining establishments, the OES survey data are placed into
12 intervals. The intervals are defined both as hourly rates and the corresponding annual
rates, where the annual rate for an occupation is calculated by multiplying the hourly wage
rate by a typical work year of 2,080 hours. The responding establishments are instructed
to report the hourly rate for part-time workers, and to report annual rates for occupations
that are typically paid at an annual rate but do not work 2,080 hours per year, such as
teachers, pilots, and flight attendants. Other workers, such as some entertainment workers,
are paid hourly rates, but generally do not work 40 hours per week, year round. For these
workers, only an hourly wage is reported.
 
Estimation methodology

The OES survey is designed to produce estimates by combining six panels of data collected
over a 3-year period. Each OES panel contains approximately 180,000 to 200,000 establishments.
Recent OES survey panels have a reduced sample; see the "Changes to the May 2019 estimates"
section below for more information. The full six-panel sample of 1.1 million establishments
allows the production of estimates at detailed levels of geography, industry, and occupation.

Wage updating. Significant reductions in sampling errors are obtained by combining six panels
of data, particularly for small geographic areas and occupations. Wages for the current panel
need no adjustment. However, wages in the five previous panels need to be updated to the
current panel’s reference period.

The OES program uses the BLS Employment Cost Index (ECI) to adjust survey data from prior
panels before combining them with the current panel’s data. The wage updating procedure
adjusts each detailed occupation’s wage rate, as measured in the earlier panel, according
to the average movement of its broader occupational division.

Imputation. Some establishments do not respond for a given panel. For most employers, a
"nearest neighbor" hot deck imputation procedure is used to impute missing occupational
employment totals. A variant of mean imputation is used to impute missing wage distributions.
In some cases, data for nonrespondents are available from earlier panels. In those cases,
the older data may be used and aged to represent the current reference period.

Weighting and benchmarking. The sampled establishments are weighted to represent all
establishments for the reference period. Weights are further adjusted by the ratio of
employment totals (the average of November 2018 and May 2019 employment) from the BLS
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages to employment totals from the OES survey.

Changes to the May 2019 estimates

With the May 2019 estimates, the OES program has begun implementing the 2018 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Each set of OES estimates is calculated from
six panels of survey data collected over three years. Because the May 2019 estimates
are based on a combination of survey data collected using the 2010 SOC and survey data
collected using the 2018 SOC, these estimates use a hybrid of the two classification
systems that contains some combinations of occupations that are not found in either the
2010 or 2018 SOC. These combinations may include occupations from more than one 2018
SOC minor group or broad occupation. Therefore, OES will not publish data for some 2018
SOC minor groups and broad occupations in the May 2019 estimates. The May 2021 estimates,
to be published in Spring 2022, will be the first OES estimates based entirely on survey
data collected using the 2018 SOC. 

In addition, the OES program has replaced some 2018 SOC detailed occupations with SOC
broad occupations or OES-specific aggregations. These include home health aides and
personal care aides, for which OES will publish only the 2018 SOC broad occupation 31-1120
Home Health and Personal Care Aides.

More information on the occupational classification system used in the May 2019 OES
estimates is available at www.bls.gov/oes/soc_2018.htm and in the OES frequently asked
questions at www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm#qf10.

The May 2019 OES estimates use the metropolitan area definitions delineated in Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Bulletin 17-01, which add a new Metropolitan Statistical
Area (MSA) for Twin Falls, Idaho. For more information on the area definitions used in
the May 2019 estimates, please see www.bls.gov/oes/current/msa_def.htm.

The OES sample has been reduced in recent survey panels. The May 2019 OES survey panel
had a sample of approximately 183,000 establishments. The November 2017, May 2018, and
November 2018 survey panels each had a sample of approximately 186,000 establishments.
The May 2017 panel sample consisted of approximately 195,000 establishments, and the
November 2016 panel sample consisted of approximately 202,000 establishments.

   (1) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080
hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from
the reported survey data.
   (2) Wages for some occupations that do not generally work year-round, full time, are reported either as hourly wages or annual
salaries depending on how they are typically paid.
   (3) Represents a wage equal to or greater than $100.00 per hour.
