Farming, fishing, and forestry wages add a goods-producing, outdoor-work benchmark exposed to seasonal labor supply and mechanization. This target resolves on 2027-05-14 under a first-print rule, with an expected ~12 months lag. The same series can also spawn next annual release, mean wage, median wage, percentile wages, detailed SOC rows questions.
The forecast is produced by damped_log_trend_v1. The OEWS API returns one target-specific 10th percentile observation for this current SOC/statistic series, so the model records fallback status instead of fitting a false trend. It applies the broad wage-growth prior from BLS CES total private average hourly earnings, May 2025 to May 2026 and keeps a volatility-floor interval. The occupation-specific qualitative overlay is continued low-wage labor pressure in seasonal and outdoor work. The lower tail covers weaker commodity demand and more labor-saving mechanization.

- rule
- Resolves to the first-published national OEWS annual 10th percentile wage estimate for SOC 45-0000 Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupations in the BLS May 2026 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates table, in nominal dollars. This uses the A_PCT10/annual 10th percentile wage field for the national, cross-industry row. Later revisions or table corrections do not change the resolved value unless BLS replaces the first table on the same publication date.
