                OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES -- MAY 2013


Retail salespersons and cashiers were the occupations with the largest employment 
in May 2013, 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 
4.5 million and 3.3 million, respectively. National employment and wage information for all 
occupations is shown in table 1.

The data in this release are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) 
program, which provides employment and wage estimates by area and by industry for 
wage and salary workers in 22 major occupational groups, 94 minor occupational groups, 
458 broad occupations, and 821 detailed occupations. 

Occupations

--The 10 largest occupations accounted for 21 percent of total employment in 
  May 2013. 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; waiters and waitresses; and customer service 
  representatives. 

--Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Of the 10 largest 
  occupations, only registered nurses, with an annual mean wage of $68,910, had an 
  average wage above the U.S. all-occupations mean of $22.33 per hour or $46,440 
  annually. Annual mean wages for the rest of the 10 largest occupations ranged from 
  $18,880 for combined food preparation and serving workers to $34,000 for secretaries 
  and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive. 

--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 nearly 11 percent and 9 percent of U.S. employment, respectively. Seven of the 10 
  largest occupations were in one of these three groups. Legal occupations and life, 
  physical, and social science occupations were among the smallest occupational groups, 
  each making up less than 1 percent of total employment. 

--The highest paying occupational groups were management, legal, computer and 
  mathematical, and architecture and engineering occupations. Most detailed occupations
  in these groups were also high paying. For example, all 19 computer and mathematical
  occupations had average wages above the U.S. all-occupations mean, ranging from
  $50,450 for computer user support specialists to $109,260 for computer and
  information research scientists. (See table 1.)

--The lowest paying occupational groups were food preparation and serving related; 
  farming, fishing, and forestry; personal care and service; building and grounds 
  cleaning and maintenance; and healthcare support occupations. Annual mean wages 
  for these groups ranged from $21,580 for food preparation and serving related 
  occupations to $28,300 for healthcare support occupations. With few exceptions, 
  the detailed occupations in these groups had below-average wages. For example, 
  occupational therapy assistants and physical therapy assistants were the only 
  healthcare support occupations with mean wages above the U.S. all-occupations 
  mean. (See table 1.)

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

Private and government employers

--The private sector accounted for over 90 percent of employment in more than half 
  of the 821 detailed occupations, including 6 of the 10 largest occupations in the 
  U.S. Almost all of the 4.5 million retail sales workers, 3.3 million cashiers, and 
  2.4 million waiters and waitresses were employed in the private sector. Among the 
  10 largest occupations in the private sector, general and operations managers and 
  registered nurses had the highest wages, with annual mean wages of $117,210 and
  $69,060, respectively.

--Five of the 6 largest occupations in the public sector were teaching occupations: 
  elementary school teachers, except special education; middle school teachers, 
  except special and career/technical education; secondary school teachers, except 
  special and career/technical education; teacher assistants; and substitute teachers. 
  Over 75 percent of employment in each of these occupations was in the public sector, 
  and for each, over 95 percent of their public sector employment was in local govern-
  ment. Other occupations with a large share of employment in local government included 
  firefighters, police and sheriff's patrol officers, and water and wastewater treat-
  ment plant and system operators. 

--Correctional officers and jailers; general office clerks; registered nurses; and 
  secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive 
  were the largest occupations in state government. Combined, these four occupations 
  accounted for 15 percent of all state government employment. Other large occupations 
  in state government included graduate teaching assistants and postsecondary health 
  specialties teachers.

--Three of the 5 largest occupations in the federal government were specific to 
  the U.S. Postal Service--postal service mail carriers; postal service mail sorters, 
  processors, and processing machine operators; and postal service clerks--which 
  combined accounted for 19 percent of federal employment. Also among the largest 
  federal government occupations were registered nurses, management analysts, 
  compliance officers, and transportation security screeners. 

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

Industries

--Health care and social assistance was the industry sector with the largest 
  employment in May 2013. Four major occupational groups made up about 77 percent 
  of employment within this industry sector: healthcare practitioners and technical, 
  healthcare support, office and administrative support, and personal care and service.
  Registered nurses, nursing assistants, and personal care aides were the largest 
  detailed occupations in the health care and social assistance sector, with about 
  2.3 million, 1.3 million, and 1.0 million jobs, respectively. Nearly 71 percent of 
  registered nurses in the health care and social assistance sector were employed in 
  hospitals, about 62 percent of nursing assistants in the sector were employed by 
  nursing and residential care facilities, and about 47 percent of personal care aides 
  in the sector were employed in the social assistance subsector. 

--Other large industry sectors in May 2013 included retail trade, educational services, 
  accommodation and food services, and manufacturing. More than half of retail trade 
  employment was in just three occupations: retail salespersons, cashiers, and stock 
  clerks and order fillers. Education, training, and library occupations and office 
  and administrative support occupations made up about 69 percent of employment in 
  the educational services sector, including 7 of the 10 largest occupations within the 
  sector. Food preparation and serving related occupations made up nearly 81 percent 
  of employment in the accommodation and food services sector and production occupations 
  made up over half of employment in manufacturing. 

--In industries with the highest mean wages, the largest occupations tended to have 
  wages well above average. For example, the two largest occupations in securities 
  and commodity contracts intermediation and brokerage--securities, commodities, and 
  financial services sales agents, and personal financial advisors--had annual mean 
  wages of $130,800 and $104,900, respectively. These two occupations combined made 
  up about 41 percent of total industry employment. Similarly, the largest occupa-
  tions in computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing included systems software 
  developers, applications software developers, and computer hardware engineers, 
  which had annual mean wages ranging from $108,140 to $112,080.

--Restaurants and other eating places had the lowest mean wage of any industry in 
  May 2013 at $21,720. Eleven of the 12 largest detailed occupations in this industry 
  had wages that averaged less than $23,000. Several of the lowest-paying industries 
  were in the retail trade sector, including gasoline stations, clothing stores, 
  and department stores. Cashiers, with an annual mean wage of $18,930, made up 66 
  percent of employment in gasoline stations. Retail salespersons was the largest 
  occupation in both clothing stores and department stores, with mean wages of 
  $21,890 and $21,950, respectively.

OES data by industry are available on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/oes/current
/oessrci.htm. 

States and areas

--States with high total employment tended to have the highest employment of 
  many detailed occupations. For example, Florida, New York, and California had 
  the highest employment of baggage porters and bellhops. However, smaller states
  often had higher-than-average shares of employment for particular occupations.
  For example, Nevada had nearly 8 times the concentration of baggage porters and 
  bellhops and Hawaii had nearly 7 times the concentration when compared to the 
  U.S.

--Similarly, the largest metropolitan areas tended to have the highest numbers 
  of jobs in many detailed occupations, but smaller metropolitan areas often had 
  higher concentrations of specific occupations. For example, New York-Northern New 
  Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa., had the highest employment of rehabilitation 
  counselors, although the concentration of this occupation in the metropolitan 
  area was about average. On the other hand, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, had a concen-
  tration of rehabilitation counselors roughly 8 times that of the U.S. and Mount 
  Vernon-Anacortes, Wash., had nearly 7 times the concentration. 

--Wages for occupations also varied considerably across states and metropolitan 
  areas. For example, annual mean wages for advertising sales agents ranged 
  from $32,220 in Wyoming and $35,800 in Louisiana, to $70,080 in Connecticut 
  and $76,470 in New York. Wages for this occupation varied even more by area than 
  by state: among metropolitan areas with at least 100 advertising sales agents, 
  annual mean wages ranged from $26,880 in Joplin, Mo., and $27,410 in Lake Charles, 
  La., to $80,840 in New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J., and $96,760 in Danbury, 
  Conn.

OES data, including location quotients, by state and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan 
area are available on the BLS website 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; over 
500 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 2013 estimates are based on 
responses from six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period: May 2013, 
November 2012, May 2012, November 2011, May 2011, and November 2010. The overall 
national response rate for the six panels is 75.3 percent based on establishments 
and 71.6 percent based on employment. The unweighted employment of sampled establish-
ments across all six semiannual panels represents approximately 57.5 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 2010 
Office of Management and Budget’s 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 2013 OES estimates are based on the 2012 North American Industry Classifi-
cation 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.

The OES survey covers all full- and part-time wage and salary workers in nonfarm 
industries. The survey does not include the self-employed, owners and partners in 
unincorporated firms, household workers, or unpaid family workers.

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 metro-
politan and nonmetropolitan area, industry, and size. 

To provide the most occupational coverage, larger employers are more likely to be 
selected than smaller employers. An annual 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. 

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 occu-
pations 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 20 to 25 percent of establishments do not respond for a given 
panel. 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.

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 2012 and May 2013 employment) 
from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages to employment totals from 
the OES survey.

   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.
