designed to produce data on current occupational employment and wages. 
OES survey data assists in the development of employment and training

WIA replaced the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) of 1982, and the 
Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1984.
    WIA mandates that the Secretary of Labor shall oversee the 
development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of a nationwide 
employment statistics system of employment statistics that include--
``(A) statistical data from cooperative statistical survey projection 
programs and data from administrative reporting system that, taken 
together, enumerate, estimate, and project employment opportunities and 
conditions at national, State and local levels in a timely manner, 
including statistics on--(ii) industrial distribution of occupations, 
as well as current and projected employment opportunities, wages, 
benefits (where data is available), and skill trends by occupation and 
industry, with particular attention paid to State and local 
conditions;''
