Dear Employer,

Your firm has been selected to participate in a study for the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program, which is conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. OES information is used to support education and training decisions to help build a skilled workforce.

All we need from you is the specific job title, a brief description of duties, and the wage rate for each employee at the location specified in the address label for the pay period including May 12, 2019. Please do not report information like employee names and Social Security numbers. The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only, and all identifying information for non-government establishments will be held in strict confidence to the full extent permitted by law.

There are two ways to provide your information:

• Mail  Fill out the enclosed form and return it in the postage-paid envelope.

• Fax  Fax your information to «keypunch_fax».

For more information about the program, visit WWW.BLS.GOV/OES

Please respond within two weeks. Your timely response will help save taxpayer money by eliminating the need for additional mailings and telephone calls to you.

Thank you for your time and attention – we appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Laurie Salmon

Division Chief, Division of Occupational Employment Statistics

Instructions for Reporting by Occupation

• Report job titles for the job in which they are working, not in the job for which they have been trained.  For example, an employee trained as an engineer, but working as a drafter should be reported as a drafter.

• Employees that have more than one job should be reported in the job that requires the highest skill.  For example, a teacher who is also a coach, should be classified as a teacher. 

• Report apprentices and trainees in the job for which they are being trained. Report helpers separately because they are not in training for the occupation they are helping.

• Professionals who directly supervise other workers in professional occupations should be reported in the professional occupation, unless they spend 80 percent of their time supervising.

Instructions for Reporting Wage Information

For all employees:

• Please report hourly or annual wage rates for each employee. If wages are not recorded by hour or year (bi-weekly, or monthly for example), convert them into an hourly wage rate.

• For part-time workers, please report the specific hourly wage rate, not an average.

• For tip, commission, and piece-rate workers, please estimate the earnings (base pay plus tips, commissions, or piece rates), and report the appropriate wage.

• For salaried workers who do not work a standard 2080 hours per year (40 hours per week), please report wages on an hourly basis. For workers who are paid an annual salary by contract, such as airline pilots, report their annual salary.

Include or exclude from pay as follows:
