Abstract:

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) Program, commonly known as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Monthly Payroll Survey, publishes national, state, and metropolitan area employment data by industrial sectors. Current publications of CES metropolitan area data include only 274 of the 337 officially recognized areas from the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) designations. Using the recent introduction of revised metropolitan area definitions based on data from the 2000 Census, the CES program will expand its metropolitan area publication scope to nearly 400 separate areas. These will include all official Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Metropolitan Divisions within the largest Metropolitan Areas, and New York City. This paper will highlight the publication plans, estimation procedures, and the construction of historical estimates for these new data.
