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/.
