Another resource is the EEO data file prepared from 2000 Census data. I just downloaded a sample file for our metro area with selected occupations, by place of work, by earnings (distributional data), by white/not hispanic and others. County and cities' data is only available if population is 100,000 or more. But it is based on the full Census sample which gives it an advantage over PUMS. A downside (for me at least) is the amount of occupational detail, no summary groups provided. But if you download to a spreadsheet you can sum up quickly enough. The data tool makes it quick and easy to access the data.

You won't get fine geographic detail, but you can group the occupations and earnings to the classes that make sense for your region. As you are part of the CB State Data Center, you should be able to get a free copy of the PUMS DVD from the Census Bureau.

Table P2011, Industry(15) by Worker Earnings in 1999 (12) comes the closest. Only Tables P2003, P2009, P2015, P2016, and P2023 are by occupation, and none are by earnings. There are twelve tables by earnings, but none by occupation. The TransCAD Table Chooser for CTPP Part 2 is a handy way to look at tables by subject.
