| Sumario: | A recently developed employment series, based on industry-occupational employment matrices prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics since the early 1980s, reveals that there was more employment growth in occupations at the top and bottom of the earnings distribution over the 1983-93 period than in occupations in the middle of the earnings distribution. It also reveals that the number of job openings for wage and salary workers resulting from employment growth and from workers exiting the labor force was greater in low-paying occupations. Service occupations accounted for 21 percent of total job growth over the 1983-93 period, and 90 percent of new service jobs occurred in retail trade and services. Nearly 1.5 million food service worker jobs were created. Nearly 4 million new jobs were created in professional specialty occupations such as systems analysis. The nature of job growth over the 1983-93 period is further described and quantified. |
