Wage & Employment Information

The Occupational Employment & Wage Statistics (OEWS) program provides annual employment and wage estimates by occupation. Data is collected through a semi-annual survey conducted by the Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL) in partnership with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS calculates employment and wage estimates for each of the states, Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and Balance-of-State areas within each state. To better meet the needs of local users, KDOL’s Labor Market Information Services (LMIS) division produces employment and wage estimates for geographic areas not produced by the BLS; these include Local Workforce Investment Areas, projection regions, and counties. Due to confidentiality and quality criteria, LMIS cannot produce estimates for every occupation in every geographic area. State created areas are not validated by BLS, and therefore, are not official BLS data series. However, the LMIS staff feels that they provide additional information that is useful to the users of Kansas data. Please visit the Kansas Labor Information Center (KLIC) website. Link below.
