Labor Market Economists analyze and interpret labor force and economic data to help users understand the effects of trends on employment and economic growth in Workforce Development Areas (WDA), Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA), and Balance of State (BOS). You can identify the area and the economist to contact with questions.

You will find publications, presentations, and reports that the Office of Economic Advisors has developed over the years. We have selected some of them here for you to access. The documents were written for an audience with some knowledge about the subject matter. Contact your regional economist for more information.

The wage data in the following nine reports are estimates based on a sample from the Occupational Employment & Wage Statistics survey (OEWS) utilizing the LEWIS Estimates Delivery System to generate wage and employment estimates for non-MSA based configurations.

The occupational data by race, ethnicity, and gender and the disability data use the 2018 - 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) from the US Census Bureau.
