The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Business Supplement (QBS) is a versatile collection instrument designed to capture information on the US economy quicky and efficiently using the BLS Annual Refiling Survey as the data collection platform. The QBS collection is designed to incorporate new questionnaires as the need arises to allow BLS to collect and publish information quickly so that stakeholders and data users can understand the impact of specific events on the US economy as they occur. The initial QBS survey, the 2021 Business Response Survey, collected information on how establishments were responding to the coronavirus pandemic and was followed by the 2022 Business Response Survey that captured information on telework, hiring, and vacancies at establishments as the economy began to emerge from the pandemic. This third QBS survey, the 2023 Business Response Survey, is being conducted on behalf of the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It will collect information on employer’s experiences with layoffs since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and their familiarity with state workforce programs to better understand current labor market conditions at this stage of the coronavirus pandemic recovery and inform ETA of business’ familiarity with the Short-Time Compensation (STC) program and other state workforce programs.
