Summary

Statistics on employees’ earnings will be presented, drawn from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. In 2017 all topics were addressed in a single statistical bulletin, but in 2018 the format may change to include two or more theme-based bulletins. The objective of the change is to help users find the statistics they are interested in more easily.
