What is the relationship between the ES-202, Covered Employment and Wages, and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW)?
Our new name, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), best describes this program, as we are a virtual census of employment in the United States, covering 99.7% of wage and salary civilian employment. This name was adopted in 2003. The QCEW program is often referred to as the ES-202 program, as it is derived from an obsolete transmittal with that number that was part of the Employment Security (Unemployment Insurance) program. Before changing our name to QCEW, we were known as the Covered Employment and Wages program, because of our focus on jobs covered by Unemployment Insurance and Unemployment Coverage for Federal Employees.
