Background The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a Federal/State establishment survey of wage and salary workers designed to produce data on current detailed occupational employment and wages for each Metropolitan Statistical Area and Metropolitan Division as well as by detailed industry classification. OES survey data assist in the development of employment and training programs established by the Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1998 and the WagnerPeyser Act. The OES program operates a periodic mail survey of a sample of non-farm establishments conducted by all fifty States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Over three-year periods, data on occupational employment and wages are collected by industry at the fourand five-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) levels. The Department of Labor uses OES data in the administration of the Foreign Labor Certification process under the Immigration Act of 1990. II. Current Action Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the OES program. Occupational employment data obtained by the OES survey are used to develop information regarding current and projected employment needs and job opportunities. These data assist in the development of State vocational education plans. OES wage data provide a significant source of information to support a number of different Federal, State, and local efforts. As part of an ongoing effort to reduce respondent burden, OES has several electronic submission options which are available to respondents. Respondents have the ability to submit data by email, or fillable online forms. In many cases, a respondent can submit existing payroll records and would not need to submit a survey form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a Federal/
State establishment survey of wage and salary workers designed to 
produce data on current detailed occupational employment and wages for 
each Metropolitan Statistical Area and Metropolitan Division as well as 
by detailed industry classification. OES survey data assist in the 
development of employment and training programs established by the 
Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1998 and the Wagner-Peyser Act.
    The OES program operates a periodic mail survey of a sample of non-
farm establishments conducted by all fifty States, the District of 
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Over three-
year periods, data on occupational employment and wages are collected 
by industry at the four- and five-digit North American Industry 
Classification System (NAICS) levels. The Department of Labor uses OES 
data in the administration of the Foreign Labor Certification process 
under the Immigration Act of 1990.

II. Current Action

    Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the 
OES program. Occupational employment data obtained by the OES survey 
are used to develop information regarding current and projected 
employment needs and job opportunities. These data assist in the 
development of State vocational education plans. OES wage data provide 
a significant source of information to support a number of different 
Federal, State, and local efforts.
    As part of an ongoing effort to reduce respondent burden, OES has 
several electronic submission options which are available to 
respondents. Respondents have the ability to submit data by email, or 
fillable online forms. In many cases, a respondent can submit existing 
payroll records and would not need to submit a survey form.
