ECON 351 University of Southern Estimating Wage Disparities Within Research Project hello everyoneThe main goal of this project is to help students to build skills in statistical analysis by applying the descriptive statistics tools to estimate mean wages by occupational employment group, and then use those estimates and the inferential statistics to infer the behavior of wage differentials across occupational employment groups. Students are expected to write their final research report which must describe the population of interest to the analysis, the data collection procedure, the implementation of the statistical procedure to estimate the population parameters (mean wage differentials) using the sample data, the interpretation of the results, and the recommendations of the policy.please see the attach May 2018 OES Estimates

Estimated total employment rounded to the nearest 10 (excludes self-employed)
Percent relative standard error (RSE) for the employment. Relative standard error is a measure of the
reliability of a statistic; the smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.
Percent of industry employment in the given occupation (only on the national industry files). Percents may
not total to 100 due to occupational data not published separately.
Percent of establishments reporting the given occupation in the given industry (only on the national industry
files)
The number of jobs (employment) in the given occupation per 1,000 jobs in the given area (only on the
statewide, metropolitan, and nonmetropolitan area files)
The location quotient represents the ratio of an occupation’s share of employment in a given area to that
occupation’s share of employment in the U.S. as a whole. For example, an occupation that makes up 10
percent of employment in a specific metropolitan area compared with 2 percent of U.S. employment would
have a location quotient of 5 for the area in question. (Only on the state, metropolitan, and nonmetropolitan
statistical area files.)
Mean hourly wage
Mean annual wage
Percent relative standard error (RSE) for the mean wage. Relative standard error is a measure of the
reliability of a statistic; the smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.

Annual median wage (or the 50th percentile)

annual
Contains “TRUE” if only the annual wages are released. The OES program releases only annual wages for
some occupations that typically work fewer than 2,080 hours per year but are paid on an annual basis, such
as teachers, pilots, and athletes.
hourly
Contains “TRUE” if only the hourly wages are released. Some occupations, such as actors, dancers, and
musicians and singers, are paid hourly and generally don’t work a standard 2,080 hour work year.
