Definitions

Reading the numbers

Data Two different shares, two different sources.

Share of the industry's jobs

Of all wage and salary jobs in education, the percent held by this occupation (OEWS). Example: Elementary School Teacher holds 10.0% of jobs here.

What it is not

Not the share of all elementary school teachers who work in this industry; role pages show that from the Employment Matrix. OEWS publishes no industry concentration index, so none is shown.

FAQ

How this page is built

Industry: NAICS 61 (public and private). Elementary and secondary schools, junior colleges, colleges and universities, and other schools and training (business, technical, trade, other instruction and educational support), whether private, state or local government. Occupations: detailed SOC occupations with at least 1,000 OEWS jobs in this industry. Two denominators: the share shown under each job count is the occupation's share of this industry's jobs (OEWS percent of industry employment); it is not the share of all workers in that occupation. Change 2025–35 is the Employment Matrix projection for that occupation within this industry, not national occupation growth. The industry change is a whole-industry figure and does not apply to every occupation in it. OEWS covers wage and salary workers only; the Matrix counts all jobs. Searches this page answers include “careers in education”, “education career paths”, “high paying jobs in education” (Ahrefs, U.S.). Since May 2025, OEWS publishes specific values for many wages above $239,200 a year; where BLS still publishes only “$239,200 or more”, that is what is shown. Data are in the public domain.

What this page can't tell you
  • Any one employer: these are national estimates for an occupation within an industry.
  • Self-employed workers: OEWS counts wage and salary jobs only.
  • Cause and effect: different industry wages do not mean changing industries will change anyone's pay.
