has been charged by Congress (29 U.S.C.
Sections 1 and 2) with the responsibility
of collecting and publishing monthly
information on employment, the average
wage received, and the hours worked by
area and industry. The process for
developing residency-based
employment and unemployment
estimates is a cooperative Federal-State
program which uses employment and
unemployment inputs available in State
Workforce Agencies. The labor force
estimates developed and issued in this
program are used for economic analysis
and as a tool in the implementation of
Federal economic policy in such areas
as employment and economic
development under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014
(that supplanted the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998) and the Public
Works and Economic Development Act,
among others. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on February 9, 2021
