Abstract:

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) Survey, an establishment survey, conducted monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, provides detailed industry data on employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls. In June 2003, the basis for industry classification will change from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC) to the new 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based data will no longer be produced or published. Historical time series have been reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion process. The NAICS-based reconstruction effort covers all CES published data types. The conversion techniques used in the historical reconstruction are discussed in detail, along with the inputs to the historical time series and the output--a NAICS-based historical time series. Also covered in this discussion are the specific methods used for exceptions to the regular conversion procedures.
