Thank you for your help! The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will use the information
you provide in determining the nation’s job count as part of the Current Employment
Statistics (CES) program.
The CES is the nation’s monthly indicator of employment trends. This monthly report
of the nation’s employment is depended on by the Federal Reserve, government
agencies, banks, and others to assess the nation’s economy and to help you make
decisions about your operations.
On the first Friday of every month major media outlets across the country publish the
nation’s job count. BLS is responsible for compiling these statistics from information
gathered from thousands of firms like yours. This statistic, along with other leading
economic indicators produced by BLS provides businesses with information critical in
planning for growth and success.
You can find data from the Current Employment Statistics program, along with
information from other BLS programs, on our web site, http://www.bls.gov/.
If you have any questions about reporting or the CES program, please call as at 1-800827-2005.
Our Frequently Asked Questions page is located at:
