CURRENT EMPLOYMENT
STATISTICS (CES) Monthly Estimates of Employment by Industry and
Area
Overview
Every month, Current Employment
Statistics (CES) surveys business establishments in order to produce
estimates of employment, hours, and earnings data. CES data are compiled
for all States, major metropolitan statistical areas (MSA), and the nation as a whole and
broken down by industry according to the North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS).
CES is a federal-state cooperative program funded by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS).
CES Definition of Employment
CES defines
employment as the number of employees receiving pay
for the pay period that includes the 12th of the
month. This includes both full and part time employees, temporary
employees, workers on paid sick or holiday leave, and those who worked for
only part of the pay period. People included on multiple payrolls are
counted at each establishment. CES data do not include: self-employed,
farm workers, volunteers, unpaid family workers, employees on leave
without pay, domestic workers, and those on strike for the entire pay
period. Striking employees who work a portion of the survey period and are
paid are counted in the survey.
