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 Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.Ĭhanges to the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) Data Bakers had a location quotient of 1.0 in Akron, indicating that this particular occupation’s local and national employment shares were similar.
