Source: R/oews.R
onet_join_oews.Rd

Joins O*NET occupation data to national OEWS employment and wage estimates by converting detailed O*NET-SOC codes such as "15-1252.00" to SOC codes such as "15-1252".

Usage

onet_join_oews(
  occupations,
  oews = NULL,
  year = latest_oews_year(),
  by = "code",
  cache_dir = tools::R_user_dir("onet2r", "cache"),
  force = FALSE,
  quiet = TRUE
)

Arguments

occupations

A data frame containing an O*NET occupation code column.

oews

Optional OEWS tibble. If omitted, onet_oews_national() is called.

year

Integer OEWS estimate year, used when oews is omitted.

by

Name of the occupation code column in occupations.

cache_dir

Directory used to cache the downloaded BLS ZIP file.

force

Logical; if TRUE, re-download OEWS data when oews is omitted.

quiet

Logical; if FALSE, show download progress.

Value

A tibble containing occupations plus a soc_code column and matching national OEWS employment and wage estimate columns.

Lifecycle

This helper is soft-deprecated in favor of onet_weight_panel_oews() plus onet_measure_aggregate() for vintage-aware weighting.

Examples

  code = c("15-1252.00", "29-1141.00"),

  occ_title = c("Software Developers", "Registered Nurses"),
  tot_emp = c(1847900, 3175400),
  a_median = c(133080, 93070)
