Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OES) This link opens in a new window
The OES program produces employment and wage estimates for over 800 occupations. These are estimates of the number of jobs in certain occupations, and estimates of the wages paid to them. These estimates are available for the nation as a whole, for individual States, and for metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), metropolitan divisions, and nonmetropolitan areas.

Educate to Career
Using ETC, students can learn the occupational outcomes derived various majors, the salaries associated with these outcomes, and also where to pursue their education along with tuition data. Career counselors use our programs in their counseling sessions with students as they work out various options for the student to consider.
