The
U.S. Census Bureau today released an analysis of earnings by occupation
for all workers and separately for men and women. The findings are based
on information collected in Census 2000.
The report, Evidence
From Census 2000 About Earnings by Detailed Occupation for Men and Women
[pdf], presents data for more than 500 civilian occupations.
The national-level special tabulation is based on responses from a sample
of households (about 1-in-6) that received the Census 2000 long form.
The data are subject to sampling and nonsampling error.
The Census Bureau cautions the public not to confuse these Census 2000
sample estimates with estimates from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement
to the Current Population Survey (CPS) or from the American Community
Survey (ACS). Findings from these sources may not agree because of different
program goals, survey concepts, data processing and estimation methods.
