NOTES: Data was compiled by OES detailed occupational groups (to the six-digit level) for occupations that are traditionally considered transportation. Total employment includes the estimated total occupational employment for the nation, excluding self-employed. Annual mean wage is the estimated mean hourly wage of an occupation multiplied by 2,080 hours. Actual annual wages for many occupations may vary based on numerous factors. Employment growth was calculated based on annual employment growth rates between 2000 and 2013.
