In this report, estimates of the total number of positions filled by scientists, engineers, and technicians employed in the U.S. economy in 2001 are presented by

industry and by occupational category. Estimates are also

presented for mean wages (hourly and annual) of scientists, engineers, and technicians by industry and by occupational category. Summary employment estimates by

broad and detailed industry of employment are in tables

1–4. Employment estimates by detailed occupational

classification and by industry are in tables 5–10. Wage

estimates are in tables 11–20.

The estimates were developed from the Occupational

Employment Statistics (OES) survey, a federal/state program under which national and state estimates of employment, by industry, are generated for nonfarm wage

and salary workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)

of the U.S. Department of Labor has primary responsibility for developing OES survey procedures and for providing states with technical guidance and assistance with

survey problems. State employment security agencies

implement the survey at the state level and prepare current and projected employment statistics for these labor

markets. Some states also prepare substate estimates. See

the Technical Notes for more information about the OES

survey.

The Division of Science Resources Statistics of the

National Science Foundation (NSF) has enhanced the

BLS effort since 1977 by financing the collection of deGENERAL NOTES

tailed estimates on the kinds of scientific and technical

jobs filled, by industry. Analysis of this information yields

insights into the dynamics of the labor market. Industries identified in the tables of this report are from the

“Numerical List of Short Titles” in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual, 1987. The occupational categories are based on the revised Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) System.

Because both the SIC and SOC classification systems have been revised over time, comparisons of 2001

estimates with those published by NSF from previous

years of the OES survey should be made with caution.

Where possible, former categories were crosswalked to

new ones, but often that was not possible. In addition,

the scope of the OES survey changed in 1996 from sampling from only about one-third of the economy in each

cycle (covering each SIC industry once every 3 years),

to sampling from every SIC industry each year.

The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is an annual mail survey of occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in

nonfarm establishments, by industry. Approximately

400,000 establishments are sampled for the survey each

year; over 3 years, approximately 1.2 million establishments are contacted. The reference period for each year’s

survey is the fourth quarter of that year. Although estimates can be made from a single year of data, the OES

survey has been designed to produce estimates using a

full 3 years of data. The sample allows the production of

estimates at detailed levels of geography, industry, and

occupation. (See Estimation, below.)

Extensive portions of the material in these technical

notes have been excerpted or reproduced verbatim from

“Appendix B. Survey Methods and Reliability of the 2001

Occupational Employment Statistics Estimates” of Bulletin 2559, Occupational Employment and Wages, 2001

appendix_b.pdf), of the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Readers are encouraged

to consult that appendix for more complete explanations.

OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION

The 1999 OES survey was the first to incorporate

the Standard Occupational Classification System (SOC),

a revised occupational classification system of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The SOC is the

occupational classification system required by OMB for

use by all federal agencies. The OES survey uses 22 major

occupational groups from the SOC to categorize workers in one of almost 770 detailed occupations. The 2001

OES survey wage estimates were developed from combined 1999, 2000, and 2001 data obtained from an initial sample of 1,208,542 establishments. Occupational

employment estimates are based only on data collected

in the 2001 survey.

The major groups of the SOC are as follows:

• Management occupations

• Business and financial operations occupations

• Computer and mathematical occupations

• Architecture and engineering occupations

• Life, physical, and social science occupations

• Community and social services occupations

• Legal occupations

• Education, training, and library occupations

• Arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media

occupations

• Healthcare practitioners and technical occupations

• Healthcare support occupations

• Protective service occupations

• Food preparation and serving related occupations

• Building and grounds cleaning and maintenance

occupations

• Personal care and service occupations

• Sales and related occupations

• Office and administrative support occupations

• Farming, fishing, and forestry occupations

• Construction and extraction occupations

• Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations

• Production occupations

• Transportation and material moving occupations

• Military-specific occupations (not surveyed as part

of OES).

DEFINITIONS

Employment. Employment is defined as the number

of workers who can be classified as full-time or parttime employees, including workers on paid vacations or

other types of leave; workers on unpaid short-term absences; salaried officers, executives, and staff members

of incorporated firms; employees temporarily assigned

to other units; and employees for whom the reporting

unit is their permanent duty station, regardless of whether

that unit prepares their paycheck. Among those excluded

from coverage are most proprietors (owners and partners of unincorporated firms), self-employed workers,

and unpaid family workers. Employees are reported in

the occupation in which they are working, rather than

the occupation for which they were trained.

In this report, employment represents the estimate

of total wage and salary employment in an occupation.

To reduce paperwork and respondent burden, no OES

survey form contains every SOC occupation. Instead, the

survey form sent to an establishment contains 50 to 225

SOC occupations selected on the basis of the industry

classification and size class of the sampled establishment.

Thus, data for specific occupations are collected primarily from establishments within industries that are the

predominant employers of labor in those occupations.

Occupations not listed can be added to the survey form.

Establishment. An establishment is an economic unit

that produces goods or services. It generally is found at a

TECHNICAL NOTES
3

single physical location and is engaged predominantly

in one type of economic activity. Where a single physical location encompasses two or more distinct activities,

these are treated as separate establishments if separate

payroll records are available and certain other criteria

are met.

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). The industrial classification system used in this survey is described

in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987

(Office of Management and Budget: Washington, DC),

which classifies reporting establishments into industries

on the basis of major product or activity. The OES program produces estimates by both two-digit and threedigit SIC codes, estimates across all industries, and

estimates of total national employment.

Wages.Wages for the OES survey are straight-time,

gross pay, exclusive of premium pay. Base rate, cost-ofliving allowances, guaranteed pay, hazardous-duty pay,

incentive pay including commissions and production

bonuses, tips, location differential, length-of-service allowances, and on-call pay are included. Excluded are

attendance bonuses, back pay, jury duty pay, overtime

pay, severance pay, shift differentials, nonproduction

bonuses, tuition reimbursements, meal and lodging allowances, merchandise discounts, profit-sharing distributions, relocation allowances, and stock bonuses.

The OES survey collects wage data in 12 intervals.

Employers report the number of employees in an occupation by wage interval. The wage intervals used for the

2001 survey are as follows:

Mean wage. The mean wage is the estimated total

wages for an occupation divided by its weighted survey

employment. A mean hourly wage value is calculated

for each wage interval, A through K, based on occupational wage data collected by the BLS Office of Compensation and Working Conditions. The mean wage value

for the upper open-ended wage interval L ($70.00 and

over) is its lower bound (Winsorized mean). These interval mean wage values are then attributed to all workers

reported in the interval. For each occupation, total

weighted wages in each interval are summed across all

intervals and divided by the occupation’s weighted survey employment.

Median wage. The median wage is the estimated 50th

percentile of the distribution of wages: 50 percent of

workers in an occupation earn wages below, and 50 percent earn wages above, the median wage. The wage interval containing the median wage is located using a

cumulative frequency count of employment across wage

intervals. The median wage rate is then estimated using

a linear interpolation procedure.

Annual wage. Annual wage estimates are calculated

by multiplying the mean hourly wage by 2,080 hours

(52 weeks per year multiplied by 40 hours per week).

Employees paid at an hourly rate by their employers may

work less than or more than 40 hours per week. Thus,

the annual wage estimates may not represent the actual

annual pay received by employees. For a small number

of occupations in this report only an annual wage figure

is provided. The workers in these occupations are generally paid on an annual basis, and their annual wage has

been directly calculated from the reported survey data.

Producing estimates using 3 years of sample data

provides additional occupational detail and reduces sampling error (particularly for small geographic areas and

occupations). However, this procedure also has quality

limitations because it requires the adjustment of data from

earlier years to the current reference period—a procedure referred to as “wage updating.” The OES program

uses the over-the-year fourth-quarter wage changes from

the BLS Employment Cost Index (ECI) to adjust prioryear survey data before combining them with the current-year data. The wage updating procedure assumes

that each occupation’s wage, as measured in the earlier

years, moves according to the average movement of its

occupational division and that there are no major geographic or detailed occupational differences—and this

may not be the case. BLS has conducted research over

the past several years on the accuracy of the ECI wageupdating method compared with other modeling approaches. Current research results support the continued

use of the ECI wage-updating methodology.

SCOPE OF SURVEY

The survey covers establishments in SIC codes 07,

10 through 42, 44 through 87, 89, and state and local

governments. In addition, data for the U.S. Postal Service and for the federal government are universe (total)

counts obtained from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Occupational employment and wage

estimates at the national level were produced by BLS

using employment and wage data from the 50 U.S. states

and the District of Columbia. Guam, Puerto Rico, and

the U.S. Virgin Islands were surveyed; however, data

from these territories are not included in the production

of national estimates.

For the OES survey, employers are requested to provide occupational data for a particular reference date.

The reference date for any particular establishment in

the survey is dependent on its SIC code. The reference

date for the 2001 survey was the pay period that included

October 12, November 12, or December 12 of 2001, depending on SIC code. The pay period including the 12th

day of the reference month is standard for federal agencies collecting employment data.

METHOD OF COLLECTION

Survey questionnaires (schedules) were initially

mailed out to almost all sampled establishments; personal

visits were made to some of the larger establishments.

Two additional mailings were sent to nonresponding

establishments at approximately 3-week intervals. Telephone or personal-visit follow-ups were made for those

nonresponding establishments considered critical to the

survey because of their size.

SAMPLING PROCEDURES

The OES survey is based on a probability sample

and is designed to represent the universe of establishments it covers. The survey is conducted over a 3-year

cycle. Each year, one-third of the sample units are included

in the survey. To the extent possible, units selected in 1

year are not included in the sample the following 2 years.

Establishments in eligible two- and three-digit SIC

codes that reported to a state employment security agency

for unemployment insurance purposes constitute the sampling frame for this survey. Virtually all businesses are

required to file such a report with the state in which they

are located. Each quarter, BLS combines the lists from

all states into a single file called the Longitudinal Database (LDB), a compilation of state unemployment insurance reports. For the 1999 survey the sampling frame

was the LDB file from the second quarter of 1998, for

the 2000 survey it was the LDB file from the second

quarter of 1999, and for the 2001 survey it was the LDB

file from the fourth quarter of 2000. The sampling frame

was supplemented with a list supplying establishment

information on railroads (SIC 401). OPM provided data

representing federal government employment and wages,

obtained from an annual census of federal government

establishments, at the end of the survey process.

Within each state, establishments in the universe were

stratified by Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), threedigit SIC code, and size of firm. An establishment’s size

class is determined by its employment as reported on the

sampling frame. Establishments in smaller size classes

were selected based on a probability sample. Establishments in larger size classes are sampled with virtual certainty during the 3-year cycle of the survey. The targeted

sample size of 1.2 million establishments per 3-year cycle

was allocated in a manner that equalized the expected

relative standard error of the typical occupational employment within the cell for each MSA and three-digit

SIC. Within each of these cells, the sample was allocated

across size classes in a manner that minimized the variance of the average typical occupational employment

estimate.

RESPONSE

Of the 369,694 eligible units from the 1999 sample,

usable responses were obtained from 286,903, producing a response rate of 77.6 percent based on units. Of the

375,387 eligible units from the 2000 sample, usable responses were obtained from 293,450, producing a response rate of 78.2 percent based on units. Of the 366,760

eligible units from the 2001 sample, usable responses

were obtained from 286,726, producing a response rate

of 78.2 percent based on units.

ESTIMATION

Combining data across years was challenging because of the 1999 transition to a new SOC-based OES

occupational coding system. Although most of the former

OES occupations can be crosswalked to a counterpart in

the new system, many of the relations between the two

coding systems are not one-to-one. Many former OES

occupations are crosswalked to residual occupations,

meaning that occupation is no longer surveyed as a detailed occupation. For more information about the SOC,

please see the discussion of the SOC at the BLS Web

site (http://www.bls.gov/soc).

SAMPLE WEIGHTS

Each sampled establishment was assigned an original sampling weight, the reciprocal of the establishment’s

probability of selection (i.e., its design weight) within

its sampled year.

Weights were modified for each in-scope establishment in a cell by dividing the establishment’s design

weight by a factor indicating the number of years for

which sample units were selected from that sampling cell.

This weight was used in the calculation of the 2001 estimates based on combining data from the 1999, 2000,

and 2001 surveys.

NONRESPONSE

Nonresponding establishments are accounted for in

the OES survey by a two-step imputation process. First,

the staffing pattern is imputed using a “hot-deck,” “nearest-neighbor” imputation method. Hot-deck procedures

use data from the current period to impute for missing

data (from the current period). The nearest-neighbor

method searches the responding establishments within a

defined cell and finds the one that most closely matches

the nonresponding establishment for key classification

values (such as area, SIC, size class). The staffing pattern

(employment distribution), of the responding establishment is used as the staffing pattern of the nonresponding

establishment.

COMBINING AND BENCHMARKING

MULTIYEAR DATA

Whenever possible, data from the 1999, 2000, and

2001 surveys were combined. The remaining occupational wage estimates and all of the employment estimates were produced using only 2001 data. Each year’s

sample was weighted to represent the sample as it appeared at the time the sample was selected. In order to

combine the data, each unit’s weight was modified to

have the aggregate sample represent the universe. This

was done by dividing each unit’s weight by the number

of years for which sample units were selected for that

stratum.

ESTIMATED EMPLOYMENT

A ratio estimator was used to develop estimates of

occupational employment. The auxiliary variable was the

population value of total employment obtained from the

refined unemployment insurance files for the 2001 reference month. Within each MSA, the estimated employment for an occupation at the reported three-digit SIC

level was calculated by multiplying the weighted employment by its ratio factor. The estimated employment

for an occupation at the all-industry level was obtained

by summing the occupational employment estimates

across all industries within an MSA reporting that occupation. The employment and wage data for federal government workers in each occupation were added to the

survey-derived data.

VARIANCE OF ESTIMATES

Estimates of sampling error are calculated to allow

the users to determine if occupational employment estimates are reliable enough for their needs. Only a probability-based sample can be used to calculate estimates

of sampling error from the sample itself.

The formula used to estimate occupational employment variances (a common measure of sampling error)

is based on the survey’s sample design and method of

estimation. The OES survey used a subsample replication technique called the jackknife random group to estimate variances of occupational employment. In this

technique, each sampled establishment is assigned to one

of G random groups. Using the data in these groups, G

subsamples are formed from the parent sample. Next, G

estimates of total employment for an occupation P are

calculated, one employment estimate per subsample. The

variability of these G employment estimates is then calculated. This variability is the BLS variance estimate of

the employment estimate for occupation P.

DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT

ESTIMATES AND WAGE ESTIMATES

Users consulting both occupational employment estimate tables and wage estimate tables may notice apparent discrepancies between two tables in the treatment

of identical variables. For instance, wage estimates may
6

be displayed for certain occupations for which no employment estimates are reported, or employment or wage

data may be displayed at the two-digit SIC level but not

for the component three-digit SIC industries that together

constitute the displayed two-digit industry. The two principal reasons for apparent discrepancies are (1) that BLSapplied suppression rules differ for employment estimates

and for wage estimates, and (2) data at the three-digit

SIC level may have to be suppressed to assure that individual establishments cannot be identified.

RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES

Estimates developed from a sample may differ from

the results of a census. Two types of error, sampling and

nonsampling, can occur in estimates calculated from a

sample. Sampling error occurs because observations are

based on a sample, not on the entire population.

Nonsampling error occurs because of response and operational errors in the survey. Unlike sampling error, this

form of error can also occur in a census.

SAMPLING ERROR

The particular sample used in this survey is one of

many possible samples of the same size that could have

been selected using the same sample design. Estimates

derived from different samples tend to differ from one

another. The variance of a survey estimate is a measure

of the variation among the estimates from all possible

samples. The standard error of a survey estimate is the

square root of its variance; the relative standard error is

the ratio of the standard error to the estimate itself.

By using the sample estimate and its standard error,

the user can construct an interval estimate with a prescribed level of confidence that the interval will include

the mean value of the estimate from all possible samples.

For example, suppose that an estimated occupational

employment total is 5,000 and has an associated relative

standard error of 2.0 percent. Based on these data, the

standard error of the estimate is 100 (2 percent of 5,000).

A 68 percent confidence interval for the employment

estimate is 5,000 ± 100, or from 4,900 to 5,100. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals constructed in this

manner will include the mean of all possible employment estimates as computed from all possible samples.

A 95 percent confidence interval for the employment

estimate is 5,000 ± 196, or from 4,804 to 5,196. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals constructed in this

manner will include the mean of all possible employment estimates as computed from all possible samples.

Estimates of sampling errors for occupational employment estimates are available for most estimates.

NONSAMPLING ERROR

Nonsampling error is attributable to such causes as

an inability to obtain information for all establishments

in the sample; differences in respondents’ interpretation

of the survey question; respondents’ inability or unwillingness to provide correct information; errors made in

recording, coding, or processing the data; and errors made

in imputing values for missing data. Explicit measures

of the effects of nonsampling error are not available. The

relative standard error indicates the magnitude of the

sampling error; it does not measure nonsampling error,

which includes biases in the data. Particular care should

be exercised in the interpretation of small estimates or

of small differences between estimates when the sampling error is relatively large or the magnitude of the bias

is unknown.

Several edit and quality-control procedures were used

to reduce nonsampling error. For example, completed

survey questionnaires were checked for data consistency,

follow-up mailings were sent to nonresponding establishments to improve the survey response rate, and response analysis studies were conducted to assess

respondents’ comprehension of the questionnaire. Additional quality control procedures used in the OES survey

are described below in “Quality Control Measures.”

RELATIVE STANDARD ERROR NOT

DISPLAYED

Mean hourly wages are calculated from the mean

values of the lower 11 of 12 wage intervals using data

from the BLS National Compensation Survey (see Definitions, above). Because of space restrictions, relative

standard errors are not displayed for estimates of mean

hourly wages and mean annual wages for scientists, engineers, and technicians in tables 13–20. Relative standard errors for mean hourly wages were calculated and

are available on request. Relative standard errors were

not calculated for mean annual wages because the estimates for mean annual wages were calculated directly

by multiplying mean hourly wages by 2,080 hours, which

for this survey represents full-time employment.

All employment estimates for employees not allocated to a specific SIC (tables 1–4 and table 10) are residually determined by subtracting the subtotal of
7

estimates allocated by industry from the estimate of total filled positions. Because these values are calculated

rather than estimated, no relative standard error of the

estimate is shown for them in table 10. Relative standard

errors of the employment estimates are displayed for occupational subclassifications in tables 5–10 but not for

the occupational totals. Relative standard errors of these

estimates are not available because the occupational totals are simple arithmetic sums of the occupational subclassification estimates.

QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES

The OES survey is a cooperative program and has

limited personnel resources. Nonetheless, the program

must accommodate state-specific publication needs; standardize survey procedures across all 50 U.S. states, the

District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories; and produce quality estimates. Controlling sources of nonsampling error in this decentralized environment can be

difficult. In addition, edit and validation checks are distributed across eight regional offices, which can lead to

procedural differences between the regions. Two important quality control measures used by the OES survey

are the Survey Processing and Management (SPAM)

System and the Estimates Delivery System (EDS). Both

systems were developed to provide a consistent and automated framework for survey processing and to reduce

the workload at the state, regional, and national levels.

By standardizing data processing activities, such as

refining mailing addresses, addressing envelopes and

mailers, editing and updating questionnaires, producing

management reports, and calculating employment estimates, the SPAM system and the EDS have consequently

standardized survey methodology. This has reduced the

number of errors on the data files as well as the time

needed to review them.

Other quality control measures implemented in the

OES survey include

• Follow-up of solicitations of nonrespondents (especially critical nonrespondents),

• Review of schedules to verify the accuracy and reasonableness of the reported data,

• Adjustments of atypical reporting units on the data

file,

• Validation of the benchmark employment figures and

of the benchmark factors,

• Validation of the analytical tables of estimates (at

the two- and three-digit SIC levels), and

• Use of bar codes to reduce keypunch errors.
