10. The BLS in cooperation with or without the ALA has never done a comprehensive national survey of librarians. In 1949, the Bureau cooperated with the ALA to report salaries for public librarians. See U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Economic Status of Library Personnel 1949 prepared by Lily Mary David (Chicago: ALA, 1950). Today, the BLS provides Occupational Employment Statistics by profession and industry but this data does not include a breakdown by sex. See http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes254021.htm.
