Connecticut Occupational Employment and Wage provides accurate and meaningful wage information to employers, job seekers, counselors, students, planners of vocational education programs, economic developers, Regional Workforce Development Boards, and others. Employers may find the data useful as a guide in analyzing pay scales; job seekers and students could utilize the information in making employment and career decisions; program planners should be aware of employment and wage levels in determining training programs to be offered.

The Connecticut Occupational Employment and Wage data provides employment and wage data by occupation and is based on the results of the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey. The OES program conducts a bi-annual mail survey designed to produce estimates of employment and wages for over 800 occupations. These estimates are generated at the national, state, and metropolitan area levels. See OES Methodology and Occupational Employment Sample Survey.

The current estimates have a reference date of the First Quarter of 2012. National estimates are derived from responses from 1,200,000 business establishments, while state estimates are based on approximately 21,000 sampled establishments.
