Abstract: The U.S. Energy and Employment Report collects data from relevant industries and quantifies employment in energy activities with data on workforce demographics and employer perceptions by geography. This data is used to generate an annual U.S. Energy and Employment Report as instructed by Congress in 42 U.S.C. 18841. This revision to the data collection includes: revised classification and establishment reporting; occupation staffing in place of wage questions; new AI, environmental/regulatory-compliance, and business-activity measures; and burden-reduction/routing improvements.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: DOE estimates 45,406 annual responses and 8,742 annual burden hours, compared with the currently approved 44,400 responses and 8,312 burden hours. This represents an increase of 1,006 responses and 430 burden hours when compared to the 2026 survey instrument estimates. The change is attributable to adjustment in agency estimates. The revised estimate of the total number of responses is based on updated respondent counts from the 2025-2026 data collection. Meanwhile, the survey instrument changes are attributable to agency program changes, but these changes have not meaningfully changed our estimate of average time to complete the qualifying establishment survey. Respondent cost changes reflect the revised burden hours and updated occupational wage data.
