Additional OEWS data sets

STEM data sets

NOTE: The May 2021 STEM aggregation is not directly comparable to the STEM aggregations from previous years because of changes in the occupational categories related to the implementation of the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and changes to the OEWS estimation method. For more information on using OEWS data to look at changes through time, see our frequently asked question #F.1 "Can OEWS be used to compare changes in employment or wages over time?" at www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm.

Typical entry-level educational requirement data sets

NOTE: The typical education level required to enter an occupation is based on education and training categories from the BLS Employment Projections program. The May 2021 typical entry-level education data are not directly comparable to the typical entry-level education data from previous years because of changes in the occupational categories related to the implementation of the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, changes to the typical entry-level education categories assigned to some occupations, and changes to the OEWS estimation method. For more information on using OEWS data to look at changes through time, see our frequently asked question #F.1 "Can OEWS be used to compare changes in employment or wages over time?" at www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm.
