The Occupational Employment Statistics Wage Survey Data

The May 2006 wage data published on this site (select from listings below) are possible due to thousands of New Jersey employers who participated in the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Wage Survey over the past four years. The data collected in the OES Wage Survey provides valuable input for wage comparisons and for identifying trends in emerging or declining occupations -- precisely the kind of information needed by both employers as well as those who are choosing or changing careers.

The Current OES Survey.  The New Jersey Department of Labor is now in the midst of the May 2007 Occupational Employment Statistics Wage Survey. OES survey forms are being mailed to employers throughout the state. If your company receives the survey, realize that the quality and level of detail that we will be able to provide from this survey will depend on the cooperation received from the employer community

For more information on the OES survey, access links to the left for About OES, Technical Notes and Related Sites.
