![]() Each year, two semiannual panels of approximately 179,000 to 187,000 sampled establishments are contacted, one panel in May and the other in November. OEWS estimates are constructed from a sample of about 1.1 million establishments. BLS funds the survey and provides the procedures and technical support, while the State Workforce Agencies collect most of the data. OEWS data are available at The OEWS survey is a cooperative effort between BLS and the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). The OEWS data available from BLS include cross-industry occupational employment and wage estimates for the nation over 580 areas, including states and the District of Columbia, metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), nonmetropolitan areas, and territories national industry-specific estimates at the NAICS sector, 3-digit, most 4-digit, and selected 5- and 6-digit industry levels and national estimates by ownership across all industries and for schools and hospitals. The Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey is a semiannual survey measuring occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments in the United States. See North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) at BLS for details. The May 2022 estimates are the first OEWS estimates to be produced using the 2022 NAICS, which replaces the 2017 NAICS used for the May 2017-May 2021 estimates. For more information, see the May 2022 Survey Methods and Reliability Statement. Additional updates were made to the MB3 wage processing methodology for May 2022. The May 2022 OEWS estimates use the model-based (MB3) estimation method implemented with the May 2021 estimates release. These statistics are from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey, a federal-state cooperative program between BLS and State Workforce Agencies, in this case, the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services, the Virginia Employment Commission, the Maryland Department of Labor, and the Workforce West Virginia.Ĭhanges to the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) Data Loan officers had a location quotient of 0.9 in Washington, indicating that this particular occupation’s local and national employment shares were similar. For instance, budget analysts were employed at 4.3 times the national rate in Washington, and meeting, convention, and event planners, at 2.2 times the U.S. In the Washington area, above-average concentrations of employment were found in many of the occupations within the business and financial operations group.
