Definitions
Reading the numbers
Data Two different shares, two different sources.
Share of the industry's jobs
Of all wage and salary jobs in transportation and logistics, the percent held by this occupation (OEWS). Example: Truck Driver holds 15.9% of jobs here.
What it is not
Not the share of all truck drivers who work in this industry; role pages show that from the Employment Matrix. OEWS publishes no industry concentration index, so none is shown.

How this page is built
Industry: NAICS 48–49 (including the U.S. Postal Service). Air, rail, water, truck and transit transportation, pipelines, couriers and messengers, warehousing and storage, support activities for transportation, and the U.S. Postal Service. 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 logistics”, “careers in transportation”, “is transportation a good career path” (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.
