The BLS would like to thank the Nebraska Department of Labor for the original idea for this table.U.S. BUreaU of LaBor StatiSticS

BLS periodic table of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupationsThe periodic table of chemical elements, created by Dmitry Mendeleev in 1869, is one of the most important achievements in modern science. To celebrate this achievement, BLS has created our own periodic table! Instead of elements, we have used Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations. Workers in STEM occupations use science and mathematics to understand how the world works and to solve problems.
