Archived Employment and Wage Estimates

• Due to a processing error, the May 2003 estimates do not reflect about 10,000 Federal government and U.S. Postal Service employees in South Dakota. This error affects the occupational employment and earnings estimates both for South Dakota and for the U.S. as a whole, though the impact on the latter is likely to be negligible. These employees will be included in the estimates for November 2003. BLS regrets any inconvenience this error might have caused data users. For further information, call the Division of Occupational Employment Statistics at 202-691-6569.
• The Bureau of Labor Statistics is able to produce the occupational employment and wage estimates displayed on this website because of the timely co-operation of employers throughout the United States. If your workplace received an Occupational Employment Statistics survey form please complete it and return it to the State employment security agency that sent it to you.
