BLS has a webpage devoted to helping students and teachers discover information about the economy and jobs. The Classroom webpage is a fun way to learn about BLS and the data we produce; it was created with students from kindergarten through 12th grade in mind.
The Teacher’s Desk has classroom activities and videos you can incorporate into your lesson plans to explain common economic concepts using BLS data! The Teacher’s Desk also has informational posters to print and hang in your classroom and around the school. These posters feature the fastest growing occupations, employment growth and pay for occupational groups, employment and earnings by educational attainment, and much more. We update these posters when we publish new data.
On the Student’s Desk**you can explore careers that relate to your interests and learn about the economic concepts BLS uses. You can also make your own data chart using our K–12 Chart Maker tool!
You can test your knowledge of BLS concepts with our Games & Quizzes.

Annual estimates of average hourly wages for occupations by selected job characteristics and geographic location
Key Takeaways:
Modeled Wage Estimates are produced annually using a statistical procedure that combines survey data collected by the National Compensation Survey and the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program. Borrowing from the strengths of both surveys, the Modeled Wage Estimates provide more detail on average hourly wages than either program is able to provide separately.
Modeled Wage Estimates provide average hourly wages for occupations by job characteristics and within a given geographic location.
The job characteristics include all workers, bargaining status (union and nonunion), work status (part time and full time), basis of pay (incentive based and time based), and work levels (1–15 and unable to be leveled). Work levels are measures of duties and responsibilities that apply to occupations.
The geographic areas include national, state, and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.Recent publication:

Productivity
Measures how efficiently the United States converts inputs into the outputs of goods and services
Key Takeaways:
Productivity is used as a measure to determine economic efficiency and is a significant source of potential growth in gross domestic product (GDP) and national income.
Productivity measures can assess the economy’s ability to expand output without additional inputs and, thus, its ability to increase living standards and improve competitiveness.
Labor productivity measures the growth in output that is not a result of adding additional labor hours.
Total factor productivity measures the growth in output that is not a result of adding more measured inputs (hours, capital, purchased energy, materials, or services) and is often consider an indicator of technical change.News release:
