BLS conducts wage surveys once a year using current SOCs. Therefore, BLS may release wage information for new occupations in their July 2011 data release. Questions regarding when the new SOC will be implemented by BLS should be directed to BLS. In the meantime, the NPWC will issue PWDs using the closest SOC for which data is available.
