Are people who are hired through the Vessels of Opportunity program counted in the establishment survey?
The Vessels of Opportunity program allows for local boat operators and their crews to assist with response activities. These boat operators and their crews may be contracted to assist with cleanup activities; payments for these activities are generally made directly to the boat owner. Self-employed boat owners and employees on commercial fishing vessels are outside of the scope of the CES survey and therefore not counted as employed. Vessels that provide services other than commercial fishing and that have paid employees may be counted as employed. See question and answer number 5 above.
