| [1] Data are not shown because every OEWS estimate is based on 3 years of data collection. [2] W-2 data are not available for these years. Note: W-2 wages are from the Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement, reported to the Internal Revenue Service. CPS = Current Population Survey, and OEWS = Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey. CPS estimates are based on the confidential version of the CPS microdata available to BLS employees, not the public-use version of the microdata. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. | |||
