What are the upcoming changes to the CES survey?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is in the process of making several changes to the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey to improve its relevance to the needs of data users, as well as its value as an input to other key economic statistics. CES data on employment, hours, and earnings by industry are among the most visible and widely-used economic indicators at national, state, and metropolitan area levels. CES data are also among the timeliest economic indicators, with their release by BLS in the Employment Situation news release shortly after the end of the reference month. To implement the needed additions to the survey while maintaining the viability of the CES program as a high volume, quick turnaround, voluntary survey, BLS carefully reviewed the publics use of CES data to determine if reductions could be made in some series as a tradeoff for significant overall data improvements that will result from adding several new data items.
