Occupational Employment Statistics (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a semi-annual survey of approximately 200,000 non-farm business establishments conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), headquartered in Washington, DC with six regional offices and one office in each state. The OES survey is designed to produce estimates of employment and wages by occupation by four-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in each State-level Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA-"urban") or Balance-of-State (BOS-"rural") geographic level, and their aggregates. Semi-annually, a "current" sample is combined with the immediate five prior samples to produce a "combined" sample of approximately 1.2 million establishments (6 x 200,000) to produce OES Estimates.
