New Features on BLS Website, October 2005
On October 19, 2005, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics launched several new features on its website.
- Occupational Employment
Statistics (OES) Tool—you can readily retrieve wage and
employment statistics by occupation and area using this new tool.
For example, you can find out how much registered nurses are paid in
different States and different metropolitan areas.
- Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Profiles—this new online tool allows
you to easily generate tables of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses
data by industry, by the demographic characteristics of the worker, and
by the
characteristics surrounding the incident. These tables can be generated in
either HTML or Excel format. This is an online version of the Profiles system
that had previously been available only on CD-ROM.
- Injury and Illness Incidence Rate Calculator and
Comparison Tool—this calculator allows you to compute injury and illness
incidence rates for your establishment and to compare your rates with
your industry's averages.
- Changes to Business Employment Dynamics tools—in preparation
for the upcoming release of new firm size
class data, these data extraction
tools for the Business Employment Dynamics database have been
modified: Create
Customized Tables (one screen) and Create Customized Tables
(multiple screens).
