Minnesota’s Salary Survey
One of DEED’s most popular tools is the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program, which includes wage and employment data for hundreds of different jobs across the state. To make it easier to access, OES recently got a user-friendly makeover.
Jobseekers that want to know the wage for welders in Willmar ($19.83) or for machinery mechanics in Mankato ($22.87) or for dentists in Duluth ($83.59) can find it much more quickly using the new OES tool, following the steps below:
Step 1: Go to https://apps.deed.state.mn.us/lmi/oes/
Step 2: Select a geographic area from the menus, or scroll over the map to choose a county
Step 3: Click on the “Go” button to update the wage table
 Step 4: Type a job title into the “Search for an Occupation” text box, Click on “Search”
Step 5: From the “Choose a specific kind of job” dropdown menu, Select an occupation, Click on “Search”
Step 6: Or click on the “>” triangle next to an occupational group to see an expanded list of detailed occupations
Step 7: Click on the occupational title to see a detailed occupational page, including an occupational description, median and 10th-90th wage percentiles, leading industries of employment, other regional data, related occupations, and a list of typical tasks for the occupation
