SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has

been charged by Congress

[Congressional Act of July 7, 1930 (29

U.S.C. Chapters 1 and 2)] with the

responsibility of collecting and

publishing monthly information on

employment, the average wage received,

and the hours worked by area and

industry. The process for developing

residency based employment and

unemployment estimates is a

cooperative Federal-State program

which uses employment and

unemployment inputs available through

State agencies.

The reports covered by this collection

are integral parts of the Local Area

Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)

program insofar as they insure and/or

measure the timeliness, quality,

consistency, and adherence to program

directions of the LAUS estimates and

related research. LAUS program data are

used in economic analysis by public

agencies and private industry, and for

State and area allocations and eligibility

determinations according to legal and

administrative requirements.

Implementation of policy and legislative

prerogatives could not be accomplished

as now written without collection of the

data.

II. Current Actions

Exportable software associated with

monthly LAUS transmittals eliminated

the need for the Monthly Report on

Continued Claimants by Place of

Residence (LAUS 6). Electronic

transmittals of any corrections to

regularly submitted data have

eliminated the need to use Monthly and

Area Correction Forms (LAUS 13 and

14).

Type of Review: Revision.

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Title: Local Area Unemployment

Statistics (LAUS) Reports 8, 15–17.

OMB Number: 1220–0043.
