| Sumario: | This article discusses findings of the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey which was conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is a monthly survey of more than 400,000 business establishments. The CES program provides estimates on employment, hours, and earnings by industry detail for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The CES is widely considered as one of the most timely and accurate economic indicators published by the Federal Government. The payroll survey was collected as a quota-based sample. A bias adjustment model was used to account for the employment movement each month not captured by the sample, including employment growth because of the birth of new establishments.
