That's easy to determine, Joe. The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces
vast amounts of data, which I've used in my research for close to 40
years.



Is there an easy way to access this data?

I think the best way is through the "subject area" page:

http://www.bls.gov/bls/proghome.htm

They improved their site not long ago. You still have to drill down to
find something specific, but it's not difficult.

Or you can use Google to shortcut things. For example, "BLS minimum
wage," without the quotes, brings up the pages I used to answer the
question in this thread.
