The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Program provides staffing patterns, employment estimates and occupational wage rates. These occupational employment and wage estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in most industry sectors in Rhode Island. The OES survey excludes most of the agricultural sector – except logging (NAICS 113310), support activities for crop production (NAICS 1151), and support activities for animal production (NAICS 1152). The OES estimates are the basis for Rhode Island’s Occupational Wage Report and Rhode Island industry and occupational projections. For additional technical information regarding the OES survey please see the technical notes for the May 2019 OES estimates on the BLS website (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_tec.htm).

IntroductionThe Labor Market Information Unit is pleased to present the Rhode Island Occupational Wage Report. This publication provides estimated wage rates for over 550 detailed occupations, as defined by the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. The statistics are based on responses from Rhode Island establishments surveyed for the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey.

The OES survey is a federal-state cooperative program involving the State Employment Security Agencies and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It was developed in response to demands for data on future employment needs at the local, state and national level. The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Program provides staffing patterns, employment estimates and occupational wage rates. These occupational employment and wage estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in most industry sectors in Rhode Island. They are the basis for Rhode Island’s Occupational Wage Report and Rhode Island industry and occupational projections.

The published wage rates reflect the average wage paid by RI employers to the individuals employed in each occupation and do not represent union or company pay scales. Annual salary is provided for occupations with a non-standard work week.

For the purposes of this publication “RI workers” refers to individuals working for an employer in RI. Workers need not be RI residents. Not all RI residents are employed in RI.

Our wage survey provides a median, entry level and experienced wage for each occupation. The median is the middle value of the wage distribution. If 101 wage values are reported for an occupation and are listed in ascending order, the median wage would be the 51st value on the list. There are 50 values below it and 50 values above it.

The 10th and 75th percentiles are used as proxies for the entry and experienced wage levels respectively. The percentiles are determined by arranging all reported wage rates for each occupation in order from highest to lowest. The rate at which 10 percent of the reported wage rates falls below is the 10th percentile. The rate at which 75 percent of the reported wage rates falls below is the 75th percentile.

The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is a system for classifying all occupations in the economy including private, public, and military occupations. SOC is the foundation of the O-NET system and is used by all federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data.

The occupations in the SOC are classified at four levels of aggregation to suit the needs of various data users: major group, minor group, broad occupation, and detailed occupation. Each lower level of detail identifies a more specific group of occupations. The 23 major groups, listed below, are divided into 97 minor groups, 461 broad occupations, and 840 detailed occupations.
