Modeled Wage Estimates, 2014-2023

Modeled Wage Estimates (MWE) borrows from the strength and breadth of two surveys, the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) and National Compensation Survey (NCS), to provide more details on occupational wages than either program provides individually.<br><br>The MWE provides annual estimates of average hourly wages for occupations by job characteristics and within a given geographical location. The geographic areas include national, state and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. 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 (entry, intermediate, experienced, 1-15 and unable to be leveled).<br><br>The Modeled Wage Estimates (MWE) program was discontinued with the final publication dated August 2024 consisting of 2023 estimates.
