Description: The Current Employment
Statistics program provides current
monthly statistics on employment,
hours, and earnings, by industry. CES
data on employment, hours, and earning
by industry are among the most visible
and widely-used Principal Federal
Economic Indicators (PFEIs). CES data
are also the timeliest of all PFEIs, with
their release by BLS in the Employment
Situation on the first Friday of most
months. The statistics are fundamental
inputs in economic decision processes
at all levels of government, private
enterprise, and organized labor.
Proposed Changes to the Current
Employment Statistics Survey: The
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is
planning several changes to the Current
Employment Statistics (CES) survey to
improve its relevance to the needs of

primary data users, as well as its value
as an input to other key economic
statistics. To implement the needed
changes while maintaining the viability
of the CES program as a high volume,
quick turnaround, voluntary survey,
BLS carefully reviewed the public’s use
of CES data to determine if reductions
could be made in some series as a
tradeoff for significant data
improvements. The reductions help to
maintain the viability of the CES survey
by keeping the survey form at one-page
in length and the number of data items
requested of employers to a minimum.
Planned Changes
The planned improvements to the
CES are:
New data on the hours and regular
earnings of all employees.
New data on total earnings—both
regular and irregular pay—for all
employees.

The CES series that BLS proposes to
discontinue to accommodate the above
improvements are:
Women worker employment series.
Production or nonsupervisory worker
hours and earnings series.
A brief discussion of the benefits of
the planned improvements and the
reasons for discontinuing the CES
women and production and
nonsupervisory workers series follows.
Discontinuation of CES women
workers series—The CES plans to
discontinue the collection and
publication of data on women workers
with the release of May 2005 data
scheduled for publication in July 2005.
The Bureau has three reasons for
proposing to drop the CES women
workers series.
The first is that the series imposes a
significant reporting burden on survey
respondents because payroll records do
not typically include gender
identification. BLS relies upon the
voluntary cooperation of approximately
