What U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics offers
10 sourcesAnnual OEWS release files provide employment and straight-time gross hourly and annual wage estimates by occupation for national, state, metropolitan/nonmetropolitan, and national-industry cohorts. BLS publishes the current May 2025 release, annual archives, coordinated OE text files and mapping dictionaries, and Public Data API delivery. Historical editions provide level observations, not an emitted growth rate; comparability requires release, geography, SOC/NAICS vintage, method, suppression, and pooled-sample controls.
Coordinated public BLS SOII product comprising the current Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Industry Data (IS) annual series, current Biennial Nonfatal Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Characteristics Data (CA) series, their code maps, BLS Public Data API delivery, and coordinated current summary/case XLSX tables. It publishes weighted nonfatal injury and illness counts and incidence rates by industry, ownership and national/state area; DART, DAFW, DJTR, other-recordable and illness categories; total hours and uncertainty where tabled; and biennial case/circumstance estimates by event/exposure, nature, source, part of body, occupation, worker cohort, duration and other coded dimensions. Annual summary estimates and biennial case estimates are distinct series within the one named SOII product, not separate Sources. Current 2024 summary tables use 2017 NAICS; current 2023–2024 case data use OIICS version 3 and 2018 SOC. Values are published estimates, not target-establishment histories; restricted respondent microdata are excluded.
BLS aggregate BED product derived from longitudinally linked QCEW establishment records. It publishes quarterly/annual job-flow levels and rates for openings, expansions, closings, contractions, births and deaths, with employment and establishment-count measures by supported national/state, industry, firm-size and employment-change-size dimensions. Coordinated downloadable establishment-age and annual-opening-cohort survival tables add surviving counts, survivor employment, survival since birth, prior-year conditional survival and average survivor employment. API and text tables are delivery surfaces of one product.
Coordinated BLS QCEW public-data product publishing covered-establishment counts, monthly employment levels, quarterly and annual wage/contribution measures, average weekly wage and annual pay, location quotients, and over-year changes by industry, ownership, establishment size, and national/state/county/MSA or other published area. Area/industry CSV endpoints, quarterly and annual single-file ZIPs, title dictionaries, annual editions, and viewer tables are delivery/version surfaces of this one Source. The latest checked 2025 files are preliminary under the BLS lifecycle until finalization with the subsequent year’s first-quarter release; files do not emit a row-level release timestamp, seasonal-adjustment field, or immutable revision-vintage identifier. Employment levels represent covered jobs, not unique persons, and published wage/contribution fields must not be relabeled as a generic payroll field.
Quarterly BLS ECEC employer-paid compensation costs per employee hour and component shares of total compensation. Dimensions include civilian/private/state-local ownership, occupation, industry, establishment size, bargaining and work status, national/region/division and metro geographies. March adds compensation-percentile and named-metro estimates. API, CM flat files/dictionaries, XLSX, HTML/PDF releases and historical vintages are coordinated surfaces of one product. Employee-benefit incidence/access/participation tables are a separate NCS product.
Recurring National Compensation Survey publication and coordinated database series providing annual U.S. estimates of employer-sponsored benefit incidence and key provisions. Outputs include access, participation and take-up rates; percentages of establishments offering benefits; medical-premium shares and average monthly premium amounts; standard errors; and worker/establishment cohort dimensions by ownership, industry, occupation, work and bargaining status, wage category, establishment size, and Census region/division. The current release is March 2025, published September 25, 2025. Preserve provision, datatype, denominator, footnotes, standard errors, reference year, ownership, cohort, and classification context; dashes and suppression markers are not zero. State estimates are not produced.
Coordinated BLS public-use microdata files for the American Time Use Survey. The selected core schema combines the 2003-2024 Activity, Respondent, Roster, Who, Activity Summary and ATUS-CPS files with the 2011-2024 Eldercare Roster. It emits 24-hour diary activities and minutes, pooled six-digit activity/lexicon codes, secondary-childcare and eldercare time, respondent and household cohorts, final/base weights, diary date/day and survey year, and released CPS geography. BLS says identifying information is removed before publication. Use final weights for nationally representative estimates and preserve survey-year, weighting-method, edited/allocation, universe, and activity-lexicon changes. Do not claim state/local estimates or replacement dollar values.
Aggregate annual CFOI counts and rate outputs delivered through FA Public Data API series, complete FA text files/mappings, national XLSX/HTML tables, national hours-based rate workbooks and state rate tables. Current public schema covers geography, case/cohort, industry, occupation, event/exposure, primary/secondary injury source, counts, years and release metadata. Current counts use 2022 NAICS, 2018 SOC and OIICS version 3-series classifications. Rates use CPS and, for state rates, LAUS denominators. Excludes underlying case records and source documents.
BLS Producer Price Index commodity-series product distributed through reusable WP time-series flat files and the BLS Public Data API. Construction-material series are selected by documented series, group, and item codes. This is a national U.S. price-change benchmark, not a local material quote, building estimate, or property-level lookup. API and text-file delivery are access surfaces of one product.
Coordinated BLS public-data product for CU/CPI-U, CW/CPI-W, and SU/C-CPI-U. Series and mapping outputs pin population/family, item, U.S. area, seasonal status, periodicity, reference base, observation period, and series span; files/API emit index levels and the registered API optionally emits net and percentage changes. CPI-U/CPI-W are final when issued except rare corrections. C-CPI-U is national, unadjusted, and initially revised before becoming final 10–12 months after publication. No forecast, annualized-rate, publication-timestamp, or immutable-vintage scalar is emitted.
