The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its first annual set of modeled wage estimates, providing 2014 and 2015 average hourly wages on selected occupations by job characteristics. The modeled wage estimates use survey data collected by the BLS National Compensation Survey (NCS) and the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES)programs. The BLS plans to produce new modeled wage estimates on an ongoing, annual basis.
