              OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES -- MAY 2010


Retail salespersons and cashiers were the occupations with the highest employment 
in 2010, 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 4.2 and 3.4 million, respectively. National employment and wage information for
all occupations is shown in table 1.

These data are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program, which 
provides employment and wage estimates for wage and salary workers in 22 major 
occupational groups and nearly 800 detailed occupations. OES produces cross-industry 
occupational employment and wage data for the nation, states, metropolitan areas, 
metropolitan divisions, and nonmetropolitan areas; industry-specific data for the
nation; and data by ownership across all industries and for schools and hospitals.

Occupations

   --The 10 largest occupations accounted for more than 20 percent of
     total employment in May 2010. In addition to retail salespersons and
     cashiers, the largest occupations included general office clerks;
     combined food preparation and serving workers, including fast food;
     registered nurses; and waiters and waitresses.
     
   --Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Of the
     10 largest occupations, only registered nurses had an average wage 
     above the U.S. all-occupations mean of $21.35 per hour or $44,410 
     annually. Combined food preparation and serving workers, cashiers, 
     and waiters and waitresses were the three lowest paying of the 10 
     largest occupations, and also among the lowest-paying occupations 
     overall.
     
   --Three of the largest occupations were office and administrative
     support jobs, helping to make office and administrative support the
     largest occupational group overall, representing 17 percent of total
     employment. The next largest groups were sales and related occupations
     and food preparation and serving related occupations, which made up
     about 11 and 9 percent of U.S. employment, respectively. (See table 1.)
     
   --The smallest occupational groups included legal occupations and
     life, physical, and social science occupations, each representing
     around 1 percent of total employment. Most employment in these two
     groups came from occupations with above average wages, such as judges,
     with an hourly mean wage of $50.67; arbitrators, mediators, and
     conciliators ($31.95); medical scientists, except epidemiologists
     ($41.69); and physicists ($53.86). (See table 1.)

Ownership

   --Nearly 91 percent of employment in the 10 largest occupations was
     in the private sector. Among these occupations, the share of private 
     sector employment ranged from 74 percent of janitors and secretaries 
     to nearly 100 percent of retail salespersons and waiters and waitresses. 
     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.
     
   --Five of the 6 largest occupations in local government were education 
     related: elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers, except 
     special education; teacher assistants; and teachers and instructors, 
     all other. These 5 occupations made up about 30 percent of local 
     government employment. Other large occupations in local government 
     included police and sheriff’s patrol officers, janitors, and firefighters.
     
   --Correctional officers and jailers was the largest occupation in state 
     government, with employment of nearly 257,000. Additional large occupations 
     in state government included registered nurses, graduate teaching assistants, 
     police and sheriff’s patrol officers, postsecondary health specialties 
     teachers, and several office and administrative support occupations.

   --Four occupations specific to the U.S. Postal Service made up about 21 
     percent of federal government employment. Aside from these occupations, 
     the largest occupations in the federal government included all other 
     business operations specialists, registered nurses, compliance officers, 
     and management analysts.

OES data by ownership are available from www.bls.gov/oes/current/ownership_data.htm.

Industry

   --Health care and social assistance was the industry sector with
     the highest employment, followed by retail trade. Over half of
     employment in the health care and social assistance sector was in
     healthcare-related occupations, including registered nurses; nursing
     aides, orderlies, and attendants; home health aides; and licensed
     practical and licensed vocational nurses. Other large occupations in
     this sector included personal care aides, medical secretaries, and
     childcare workers. More than 60 percent of retail trade employment was
     in just 4 occupations: retail salespersons, cashiers, stock clerks and
     order fillers, and first-line supervisors of retail salesworkers.
     
   --Industries with the highest all-occupations mean wages included
     computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, software publishers,
     and several financial services industries. These industries tended to
     have high employment concentrations of occupations with above average
     wages. For example, the largest occupations in software publishing
     included software developers, applications, with an hourly mean wage
     of $45.65; software developers, systems software ($48.48); computer
     programmers ($39.16); and sales representatives, wholesale and
     manufacturing, technical and scientific products ($40.50).
     
   --The industries with the lowest all-occupations mean wages consisted 
     primarily of food service and retail trade industries. In limited-
     service eating places, the industry with the lowest overall average 
     wage, 8 of the 10 largest occupations had mean wages below $10.00 per 
     hour, including combined food preparation and serving workers, including 
     fast food ($8.62); fast food cooks ($8.85); and counter attendants, 
     cafeteria, food concession, and coffee shop ($8.82).

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

State and Local Area

   --States with high total employment, such as California, Texas, New
     York, and Florida, also tended to have the highest employment of many
     individual occupations. However, smaller states had among the highest
     employment of some occupations, due to factors such as industry mix or
     natural resource endowments. For example, West Virginia and Kentucky
     had some of the highest employment of several mining-related occupations, 
     including mining roof bolters and shuttle car operators, while Iowa had 
     some of the highest employment of farm equipment mechanics and soil and 
     plant scientists.
     
   --While some occupations, such as janitors and dishwashers, made up similar 
     shares of total employment in most areas, employment concentrations of other 
     occupations varied considerably across areas. For example, as a share of 
     total area employment, San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., had nearly 
     18 times as many semiconductor processors and computer hardware engineers 
     as the U.S. as a whole, while the employment share of commercial and 
     industrial designers in the Warren-Farmington Hills-Troy, Mich., metropolitan 
     division was more than 9 times the U.S. average.
     
   --Wages for a given occupation also varied significantly across areas. For
     example, among areas with at least 100 computer hardware engineers, wages 
     for this occupation varied from $35.99 in Kansas City, Mo.-Ks., to $59.66 in 
     the Nassau-Suffolk, N.Y., metropolitan division. 
     
OES data, including location quotients, by state and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan 
area are available from 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-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. BLS funds the survey and provides the procedures
and technical support, while the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) 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 2010 estimates are based on responses from 
six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period: May 2010, November 
2009, May 2009, November 2008, May 2008, and November 2007. The overall 
national response rate for the six panels is 78.2 percent based on 
establishments and 74.4 percent based on employment. The unweighted 
employment of sampled establishments across all six semiannual panels 
represents approximately 62.6 percent of total national employment.
   
The occupational coding system
   
   The OES survey categorizes workers into nearly 800 detailed occupations 
based on the 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. The May 2010 OES estimates mark the first set
of estimates based in part on data collected using the 2010 SOC system.
Previous estimates were based on the 2000 SOC.

   Almost all the occupations in this release are 2010 SOC occupations; 
however, some are not. In these cases, an estimate for a temporary 
occupation was created from data reported for one or more occupations in 
the 2000 SOC combined with data reported for one or more 2010 SOC occupa-
tions. Some occupations have the same title as a 2010 SOC occupation, but 
not the same content. These occupations are marked with an asterisk (*) 
and given a temporary code for the OES data. The May 2012 OES data will 
reflect the full set of detailed occupations in the 2010 SOC. For a list 
of all occupations, including 2010 SOC occupations, and how data collected 
on two structures were combined, see the OES Frequently Asked Questions
online at www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm#Ques41.
   
   For more information about the SOC system, please see the  Bureau of 
Labor Statistics Web site at www.bls.gov/soc/.
   
The industry coding system
   
   The OES survey uses the 2007 North American Industry Classification 
System (NAICS). For more information about NAICS, see the BLS Web site 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 metropolitan 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, non-
production bonuses, employer cost for supplementary benefits, and tuition reim-
bursements.

   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 establish-
ments 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. With the exception of the May 2008 panel, 
each OES panel includes approximately 200,000 establishments. Due to budget 
constraints, the May 2008 sample was reduced to approximately 174,000 establish-
ments. 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 occu-
pations. 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 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 2009 and 
May 2010 employment) from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages to 
employment totals from the OES survey.
