Description

The NIOEM raw dataset shows the Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Industry-Occupation Employment Matrix raw employment projection data. Employment data are available at the national level for the most recent NIOEM year and are projected out 10 years. The BLS rounds employment values in NIOEM to the nearest hundred. Industries covered in the National Employment Matrix reflect NAICS industry codes. Occupation codes are based on the structure used by the OES program, which includes detailed occupations from the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Go to https://www.bls.gov/emp/documentation/about-the-numbers.htm to read more about the NIOEM dataset.

In order to preserve the integrity of the raw data, no aggregations are performed. Consequently, queries can only include identity mappings; i.e. users can only request a single occupation code and a single industry code per mapping. If users wish to query a particular occupation at the total industry level, they should constrain the industry ID to the total industry code 'TE1000'. To exclude self-employment from that total, use the industry code 'TE1200'. For more details, view the industry definition endpoint.
