Employment & Wages by Occupation

KYSTATS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program, in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), produces statewide occupational employment and wage estimates annually for more than 700 unique occupations. KYSTATS also utilizes OEWS data to generate sub-state level estimates for Kentucky’s Local Workforce Areas. These estimates are produced from a comprehensive survey of Kentucky employers, utilizing a rolling three-year data collection window.

Note: Occupational wage estimates may be subject to duplication in small clusters and geographies due to the new MB3 methodology.
