The Occupational
Employment Statistics (OES) Program provides
industrial staffing patterns, occupational
employment estimates and occupational wage rates. Approximately 2,500
RI employers are surveyed
each year with a request to provide the number of workers
by wage range for each occupation in their employ. Once the data are
tabulated, they become the
basis for Rhode Island’s Occupational Wage Report and Rhode
Island industry and occupational projections.
