Health  care and social assistance was the industry sector with the highest
employment, followed by retail trade. Over half of employment in the health care and social assistance sector was in healthcare-related occupations, including registered nurses; nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants; home health aides; and licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses. Other large occupations in this sector
included personal care aides, medical secretaries, and childcare workers. More than 60 percent of retail trade employment was in just 4 occupations: retail salespersons, cashiers, stock clerks and order fillers, and first-line supervisors of retail sales workers.

Industries with the highest all-occupations mean wages included computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, software publishers, and several financial services industries. These industries tended to have high employment concentrations of occupations with above average wages. For example, the largest occupations in software publishing included software developers, applications, with an hourly mean wage of
$45.65; software developers, systems software ($48.48); computer programmers ($39.16); and sales
representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products
