                     OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES -- MAY 2014


The occupations with the largest employment in May 2014 were retail salespersons and
cashiers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. These two occupations
combined made up nearly 6 percent of total U.S. employment, with employment levels of
4.6 million and 3.4 million, respectively. Of the 10 largest occupations, only registered
nurses, with an annual mean wage of $69,790, had an average wage above the U.S. all-
occupations mean of $47,230. The highest paying occupations overall included several
physician and dentist occupations, chief executives, nurse anesthetists, and petroleum
engineers. National employment and wage information for all occupations is shown in 
table 1.

The data in this news release are from the Occupational Employment Statistics program,
which produces employment and wage estimates for over 800 occupations for the nation,
states, and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; and by industry or ownership at the
national level. This release contains data on science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) occupations. A list of occupations included in the STEM definition
used for this release is available at www.bls.gov/oes/stem_list.xlsx.

Occupations

   --The 10 largest occupations accounted for 21 percent of total employment in May 2014.
     In addition to retail salespersons and cashiers, the largest occupations included
     combined food preparation and serving workers, including fast food; general office
     clerks; registered nurses; customer service representatives; and waiters and
     waitresses.

   --Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Excluding registered
     nurses, annual mean wages for the rest of the 10 largest occupations ranged
     from $19,110 for combined food preparation and serving workers to $34,500 for
     secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive.
     Combined food preparation and serving workers also was one of the lowest paying
     occupations overall, along with fast food cooks ($19,030), shampooers ($19,480),
     and dishwashers ($19,540).

   --There were over 8.3 million STEM jobs in May 2014, representing about 6.2 percent
     of total U.S. employment. Seven of the 10 largest STEM occupations were related
     to computers. These occupations included applications software developers, with
     employment of 686,470; computer user support specialists (563,540); and computer
     systems analysts (528,320). Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives of
     technical and scientific products (335,540) was the largest STEM occupation that
     was not specifically computer related. (See table 1.)

   --Ninety-three of the 100 STEM occupations had mean wages significantly above the
     all-occupations average. The highest paying STEM occupations included petroleum
     engineers, with an annual mean wage of $147,520; physicists ($117,300); and the
     three STEM-related management occupations. The lowest paying STEM occupations
     included agricultural and food science technicians ($37,330) and forest and
     conservation technicians ($37,990). (See table 1.)

   --Office and administrative support was the largest occupational group, making up
     about 16 percent of total U.S. employment. The next largest groups were sales
     and related occupations and food preparation and serving related occupations,
     which made up about 11 percent and 9 percent of U.S. employment, respectively.
     The smallest occupational groups included farming, fishing, and forestry occupations;
     legal occupations; and life, physical, and social science occupations, each making
     up less than 1 percent of total employment.

   --The highest paying occupational groups were management, legal, and computer
     and mathematical occupations. The lowest paying occupational groups included
     food preparation and serving related; personal care and service; and farming,
     fishing, and forestry occupations, each with an annual mean wage of about
     $25,000 or less. (See table 1.)

Occupational profiles for all occupations are available at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm.

Ownership

   --Overall, the private sector accounted for about 84 percent of employment, but
     made up a higher share of employment in some occupations. Occupations found
     only in the private sector included flight attendants, oil and gas roustabouts,
     funeral attendants, and a number of production occupations, such as semiconductor
     processors and tire builders.

   --Eight of the 10 largest occupations in the private sector were the same as those
     in the economy as a whole. Stock clerks and order fillers and general and operations
     managers rounded out the largest private sector occupations.

   --Occupations found only in the public sector included tax examiners and collectors,
     and revenue agents; judges, magistrate judges, and magistrates; and fish and
     game wardens. Although found in both the public and private sectors, conservation
     scientists, emergency management directors, zoologists and wildlife biologists, and
     many types of postsecondary teachers also had above-average shares of their employment
     in the public sector.

   --Five of the 10 largest occupations in the public sector were related to education,
     including elementary school teachers, except special education, with public sector
     employment of over 1.2 million; teacher assistants (933,500); and secondary school
     teachers, except special and career/technical education (845,480). These occupations
     were found primarily in local government.

   --The largest occupations in state government were correctional officers and jailers;
     general office clerks; and secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal,
     medical, and executive. Registered nurses, management analysts, and compliance
     officers were among the largest occupations in federal government.

OES data by ownership are available at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrci.htm.

Industry

   --Health care and social assistance and retail trade were the industry sectors with
     the largest employment. Over half of May 2014 employment in the health care and
     social assistance sector was in healthcare related occupations. Registered nurses,
     with sector employment of nearly 2.4 million; nursing assistants (1.3 million);
     and personal care aides (1.2 million) were the largest occupations in this sector.
     More than 60 percent of retail trade employment was in only 4 occupations: retail
     salespersons, cashiers, stock clerks and order fillers, and first-line supervisors
     of retail sales workers. 

   --Some occupations were highly concentrated in specific industries, while other
     occupations were more widely distributed across industries. For example, about
     81 percent of biochemists and biophysicists were found in only three industries:
     scientific research and development services; pharmaceutical and medicine
     manufacturing; and colleges, universities, and professional schools. On the
     other hand, general office clerks were employed in over 280 industries, with
     no single industry accounting for more than about 6 percent of jobs in this
     occupation.

   --Industries with the highest all-occupations mean wages included software publishers,
     computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, and several financial services
     industries. These industries tended to have high employment concentrations of
     occupations with high wages. For example, the largest occupations in the security
     and commodity contracts intermediation and brokerage industry included securities,
     commodities, and financial services sales agents, with an annual mean wage of
     $136,920; personal financial advisors ($119,180); and financial analysts
     ($110,510). By comparison, in restaurants and other eating places, the industry
     with the lowest overall average wage, 4 of the 5 largest occupations had annual
     mean wages below $25,000.

   --Wages for individual occupations could also differ greatly across industries.
     For example, wages for computer systems analysts varied by industry from
     $58,940 in motor vehicle body and trailer manufacturing to $118,770 in support
     activities for mining. Wages for meeting, convention, and event planners ranged
     from $26,550 in book stores and news dealers to $83,560 in aerospace product
     and parts manufacturing.

OES national industry-specific data are available at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrci.htm.

State and Local Area

   --States and metropolitan areas with large total employment also tended to have
     the largest employment of many individual occupations. However, employment
     concentrations for a given occupation often varied by geographic area. For
     example, as a percentage of total state employment, Massachusetts and Virginia
     had about 2.9 and 2.6 times as many systems software developers, respectively,
     as the U.S. as a whole. At the metropolitan area level, this occupation was
     particularly concentrated in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., and the
     Framingham, Mass., NECTA division, both of which had concentrations of systems
     software developers nearly 10 times the U.S. average.

   --Some occupations were especially concentrated geographically. For example, about
     70 percent of petroleum engineers were employed in only three states: Texas,
     Oklahoma, and California. Metropolitan areas with the highest concentrations
     of this occupation included Midland, Texas, which had a concentration of
     petroleum engineers nearly 72 times the U.S. average; Casper, Wyo.; and
     Houston-Sugarland-Baytown, Texas.

   --Wages for a given occupation also varied by area. In addition to having a high
     employment concentration of systems software developers, San Jose-Sunnyvale-
     Santa Clara, Calif., also was the highest paying metropolitan area for this
     occupation, with an annual mean wage of $138,410. Wages for systems software
     developers in other metropolitan areas ranged from $52,720 in Lafayette, La.,
     to $124,220 in the Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Calif., metropolitan division. At
     the state level, wages for this occupation ranged from $68,580 in North Dakota
     to $124,070 in California.

OES data, including location quotients, by state and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan
area are available at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcst.htm and
www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcma.htm, respectively.




Technical Note

Scope of the survey

The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a semiannual mail survey
measuring occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in
nonfarm establishments in the United States. OES data available from BLS include
cross-industry occupational employment and wage estimates for the nation; nearly
650 areas, including states and the District of Columbia, metropolitan statistical
areas (MSAs), metropolitan divisions, nonmetropolitan areas, and territories;
national industry-specific estimates at the NAICS sector, 3-, 4-, 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 1.2 million establishments.
Each year, forms are mailed to two semiannual panels of approximately 200,000
sampled establishments, one panel in May and the other in November. May 2014
estimates are based on responses from six semiannual panels collected over a
3-year period: May 2014, November 2013, May 2013, November 2012, May 2012, and
November 2011. The overall national response rate for the six panels is 74.3
percent based on establishments and 70.5 percent based on weighted sampled
employment. The unweighted employment of sampled establishments across all
six semiannual panels represents approximately 57.1 percent of total national
employment. (Response rates are slightly lower for these estimates due to the
federal shutdown in October 2013.)

The occupational coding system

The OES survey categorizes workers into 821 detailed occupations based on the
Office of Management and Budget’s 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
system. Together, these detailed 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 industry coding system

The May 2014 OES estimates use the 2012 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
some state governments. For the remaining establishments, the OES survey collects
wage data in 12 intervals. For each occupation, respondents are asked to report the
number of employees paid within specific wage 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 includes approximately 200,000 establishments. The
full six-panel sample of nearly 1.2 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. About 25 percent of 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 current panel nonrespondents are available
for 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 2013 and May 2014 employment) from the BLS
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages to employment totals from the OES survey.

Changes and special procedures for the May 2014 estimates

In previous sets of estimates, local government gambling establishments and casino hotels
were included in OES-defined industry 999300 Local Government. Beginning with the May 2014
estimates, local government gambling establishments and casino hotels will be included in
NAICS 7132 Gambling Industries and 72112 Casino Hotels, respectively, along with private
sector establishments in those industries.

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program, from which the OES sample is drawn,
has recently begun coding some establishments that were historically found in NAICS 814110
Private Households to NAICS 624120 Services for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities.
Private households are out of scope for OES, so this shift caused a scope increase for OES
in NAICS 624120. Because this scope increase affected only the most recent (May 2014) of
the six survey panels used to produce the May 2014 OES estimates, the units that shifted
industries were removed from the survey data and not used in estimation.

   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 above $90.00 per hour.
