                       OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES -- MAY 2016


Construction and extraction occupations had employment of nearly 5.6 million in
May 2016, representing 4 percent of total national employment, the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported today. Over 4.2 million of these jobs were in construction
trades occupations, including construction laborers (912,100), carpenters (676,980),
and electricians (607,120).

The highest paying construction and extraction occupations were elevator installers
and repairers ($76,860) and first-line supervisors of construction trades and
extraction workers ($68,040). The lowest paying construction and extraction
occupations were roofers' helpers ($28,890) and helpers of painters, paperhangers,
plasterers, and stucco masons ($28,760). The annual mean wage across all construction
and extraction occupations was $48,900, slightly below the U.S. average wage of $49,630
for all occupations combined. National employment and wage information for all
occupations is shown in table 1.

The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program provides estimates for over 800
occupations in the nation, states, and nearly 600 metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
areas. National data are available by industry for more than 430 industry classifications
and by ownership across all industries, schools, and hospitals. This release contains
data on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) occupations and
employment and wages by typical entry-level educational requirement.

Highlights from the May 2016 OES data:

Construction and extraction occupations

   --States with the highest percentage of construction and extraction occupations
     were Wyoming (10 percent) and North Dakota (8 percent), compared with 4 percent
     of national employment.

   --Metropolitan areas with the highest concentrations of construction and extraction
     occupations included several areas in Texas; Farmington, N.M.; Greeley, Colo.;
     and Lake Charles, La.

   --Annual mean wages for construction and extraction occupations varied by state
     from $36,450 in Arkansas to $67,210 in Alaska.

   --The San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco, Calif., metropolitan division
     ($71,960) was one of the highest paying areas for construction and extraction
     occupations. The lowest paying areas for this occupational group included
     Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas ($31,030), and Sebring, Fla. ($31,270).

   --Over one-third of construction laborers worked for specialty trade contractors
     (336,030). Most of the remainder were employed in construction of buildings
     (224,630) and heavy and civil engineering construction (203,430). Employment
     services (53,410), which includes temporary help services, was the industry
     with the highest employment of construction laborers outside of the construction
     sector.

OES data 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.

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

Healthcare occupations

   --Healthcare practitioners and technical occupations had employment of 8.3
     million, and healthcare support occupations had employment of 4.0 million.
     Both healthcare occupational groups combined made up nearly 9 percent of U.S.
     employment. (See table 1.)

   --Registered nurses, with nearly 2.9 million jobs, was the largest healthcare
     occupation. (See table 1.) Most registered nurses worked in the general
     medical and surgical hospitals industry (1,649,480). 

   --Other than registered nurses, the largest healthcare occupations were nursing
     assistants (1.4 million), home health aides (814,300), and licensed practical
     and licensed vocational nurses (702,400). (See table 1.)

   --Fourteen of the 15 highest paying occupations were healthcare occupations,
     including several physician and dentist occupations and nurse anesthetists
     ($164,030). (See table 1.)

   --The lowest paying healthcare occupations were home health aides ($23,600) and
     veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers ($26,810). (See table 1.)

   --Annual mean wages for healthcare practitioners and technical occupations, the
     larger of the two healthcare occupational groups, varied by state from $63,930
     in Louisiana to $95,720 in Alaska, compared with $79,160 nationally.

   --Several areas in California, including San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, were
     among the highest paying metropolitan areas for healthcare practitioners and
     technical occupations. The lowest paying areas for this occupational group
     included Lake Charles, La. ($53,540), and Jackson, Tenn. ($58,300).

Production occupations

   --Production occupations had total employment of 9.1 million and an annual mean
     wage of $37,190 across all industries. (See table 1.)

   --Pay for production occupations in manufacturing industries varied widely.
     Industries with the highest wages were petroleum and coal products
     manufacturing ($62,500) and basic chemical manufacturing ($56,920).

   --Manufacturing industries with the lowest wages for production occupations
     included seafood product preparation and packaging ($26,930) and several
     apparel, textile, and leather products industries.

   --The state with the highest percentage of employment in production occupations
     was Indiana (13 percent). Production occupations made up 6.5 percent of
     national employment.

   --Metropolitan areas with the highest shares of production occupation employment
     included Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (36 percent); Columbus, Ind. (26 percent); and
     Dalton, Ga. (25 percent).

Typical entry-level education

   --More than 63 percent of employment was in occupations that typically require
     either a high school diploma or equivalent or no formal educational credential
     for entry. These two educational categories include most construction and production
     occupations, as well as large occupations such as retail salespersons, cashiers,
     and general office clerks.

   --Occupations that typically require a bachelor's degree for entry made up
     21 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 that typically require a postsecondary nondegree award, such as a
     certificate, for entry made up 6 percent of national employment. The largest
     occupations in this educational category were heavy and tractor-trailer truck
     drivers (1.7 million), nursing assistants (1.4 million), and licensed practical
     and licensed vocational nurses (702,400). (See table 1.)

   --States with the highest employment shares of occupations that typically require
     a postsecondary nondegree award for entry were Arkansas and North Dakota, both
     with 8 percent of state employment in this educational category. The District of
     Columbia (2 percent) and Nevada (5 percent) had the lowest employment shares of
     occupations typically requiring a postsecondary nondegree award for entry.

   --Average wages were generally higher for occupations that require more education.
     Annual mean wages were $25,860 for occupations that typically require no formal
     educational credential for entry, $42,840 for occupations typically requiring a
     high school diploma or the equivalent, $54,510 for occupations typically requiring
     an associate's degree, and $84,000 for occupations typically requiring a bachelor's
     degree.

   --On average, construction and extraction occupations had higher mean wages than
     other occupations with similar typical entry-level educational requirements. Of
     the 33 construction and extraction occupations that typically require a high
     school diploma or the equivalent for entry, 24 had mean wages significantly
     above the average of $42,840 for all occupations in this education category.
     All 27 of the construction and extraction occupations that typically require no
     formal educational credential for entry had mean wages above the average for
     occupations in this education category.

   --The annual mean wage for occupations that typically require a postsecondary
     nondegree award for entry was $40,250 nationally, but varied from $33,520 in
     West Virginia to $54,250 in Alaska.

Data on employment by the typical education level required to enter an occupation
are based on education and training categories from the BLS Employment Projections
program. Education and training levels assigned to each occupation are available
at www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_112.htm. Additional charts are available at
www.bls.gov/oes/current/overview_2016.htm.

STEM occupations

   --There were nearly 8.8 million science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
     (STEM) jobs representing 6.3 percent of total U.S. employment.

   --Seven of the 10 largest STEM occupations were related to computers and included
     applications software developers (794,000) and computer user support specialists
     (602,840). (See table 1.)

   --Areas with the highest employment shares of STEM occupations were California-
     Lexington Park, Md., and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., both with 22
     percent STEM employment.

   --Areas with the lowest employment shares of STEM occupations were Gadsden, Ala.,
     and Ocean City, N.J. (approximately 1 percent of employment each).

   --STEM occupations had an annual mean wage of $89,400, compared with $46,950 for
     non-STEM occupations. Ninety-three of the 100 STEM occupations had mean wages
     significantly above the all-occupations average of $49,630. (See table 1.)

   --The highest paying STEM occupations were petroleum engineers ($147,030) and the
     3 STEM-related management occupations. (See table 1.)

   --The lowest paying STEM occupations were forest and conservation technicians
     ($38,630) and agricultural and food science technicians ($40,470). (See
     table 1.)

A list of occupations included in the STEM definition used for this release is
available at www.bls.gov/oes/stem_list.xlsx. Additional STEM charts are available
at www.bls.gov/oes/current/overview_2016.htm.

Largest occupations

   --The largest occupations overall were retail salespersons (4.5 million) and
     cashiers (3.5 million). Retail salespersons was the largest occupation in
     33 of the 50 states. (See table 1.)

   --The next largest occupations nationally were combined food preparation and
     serving workers (3.4 million), general office clerks (3.0 million), registered
     nurses (2.9 million), and customer service representatives (2.7 million).
     (See table 1.)

   --Eight of the 10 largest occupations had below-average wages. Retail salespersons
     ($27,180), cashiers ($21,680), and combined food preparation and serving workers
     ($20,460) had annual mean wages significantly below the all-occupations average
     of $49,630. (See table 1.)

   --Registered nurses ($72,180) and general and operations managers ($122,090) were
     the largest occupations with above-average wages. (See table 1.)

Public sector occupations

   --The public sector made up 15 percent of employment and had a different occupational
     mix from the private sector.

   --Many of the largest public sector occupations were related to education, including
     elementary school teachers, except special education (public sector employment of
     1.3 million); teacher assistants (985,120); and secondary school teachers, except
     special and career/technical education (887,250).

   --Police and sheriff's patrol officers (651,310), general office clerks (533,330),
     and registered nurses (473,030) also were among the occupations with the highest
     public sector employment.

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




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 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, two
semiannual panels of approximately 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 2016 estimates
are based on responses from six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period:
May 2016, November 2015, May 2015, November 2014, May 2014, and November 2013. The
overall national response rate for the six panels, based on the 50 states and the
District of Columbia, is 73 percent based on establishments and 69 percent based on
weighted sampled employment. The unweighted employment of sampled establishments
across all six semiannual panels represents approximately 58 percent of total
national employment. 

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 2016 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
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 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. 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 current panel 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 2015 and May 2016 employment) from the BLS
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages to employment totals from the OES survey.

Special procedures for the May 2016 estimates

In May 2013, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program, from which the
OES sample is drawn, began coding some establishments that were historically found
in private households (NAICS 814110) to services for the elderly and persons with
disabilities (NAICS 624120). 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 five most recent of the six survey panels used to produce the
May 2016 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.
