SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Quarterly Census of Employment 

and Wages (QCEW) program, a Federal/ 

State cooperative effort, produces 

monthly employment and quarterly 

wage information. It is a by-product of 

quarterly reports submitted to State 

Workforce Agencies (SWAs) by 

employers subject to State 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws. 

The collection of these data is 

authorized by 29 USC 1, 2. The QCEW 

data, which are compiled for each 

calendar quarter, provide a 

comprehensive business name and 

address file with employment and wage 

information for employers subject to 

State UI laws. Similar data for Federal 

Government employers covered by the 

Unemployment Compensation for 

Federal Employees program also are 

included. These data are submitted to 

the BLS by all 50 States, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin 

Islands. The BLS summarizes these data 

to produce totals for all counties, 

Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), 

the States, and the nation. The QCEW 

program provides a virtual census of 

nonagricultural employees and their 

wages, with about 55 percent of the 

workers in agriculture covered as well. 

The QCEW program is a 

comprehensive and accurate source of 

data on the number of establishments, 

monthly employment, and quarterly 

wages, by industry, at the six-digit 

North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) level, and at the 

national, State, MSA, and county levels. 

The QCEW series has broad economic 

significance in measuring labor trends
