OES Estimates, 1988–1995

National employment data by industry are available for 1988 through 1995. These data consist of industry-based employment estimates by 2-digit and 3-digit SIC industry, with each industry surveyed once every three years. These data contain no wage estimates or State or metropolitan area employment data. In addition, because not all industries are available in each year, it is not possible to calculate total national employment for a given occupation by summing across industries. As a result, the 1988–1995 estimates are useful mainly to data users interested in occupational staffing patterns for specific industries during this period. No OES data are available for 1996 or before 1988. The industries available in each year are summarized below.
