Experimental All Employee Hours and Earnings Series from the Current Employment Statistics Program

---

Background
The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program began work in 2005 to add new series on hours and earnings.  New series have been developed to measure the average hourly earnings, average weekly hours, and gross monthly earnings of all nonfarm private sector employees.  Additionally, CES is adding average overtime hours in manufacturing.  Historically, the CES program has published average hours and earnings series for production workers in the goods-producing industries and non-supervisory workers in the service-providing industries. These workers account for about 80 percent of total private nonfarm employment.

The new hours and earnings series are more comprehensive in coverage, thereby providing improved information for analyzing economic trends and improved input to productivity and personal income series.

 

Experimental designation and future publication plans - BLS is designating the first release of these new series as experimental because of the limited experience to date with the editing and review of the sample reports and the resultant estimates.  BLS began the first collection of the all employee payroll, hours, and gross monthly earnings data from respondents late in 2005. There is not yet enough historical information to apply all of the edit and review techniques used in the published CES data to these new series, nor is there sufficient data to allow seasonal adjustment of the new series.  

The first release of experimental series on April 6, 2007, included National level estimates at a total private sector level and limited industry detail from March 2006 through January 2007.  Each month the experimental estimates are released on the same date as the Employment Situation news release (typically the first Friday of the month).  In April 2008 BLS began releasing some first preliminary estimates. As BLS and data users gain more experience with these new experimental data series, additional industry detail may be released, and publication of second preliminary estimates may be added.

By the end of 2009, BLS should have sufficient historical data to seasonally adjust the all employee payroll and hours series and is planning to publish them as official CES data in the Employment Situation news release and other BLS publications beginning in February 2010.  

State series – BLS began publishing experimental estimates of hours and earnings for all employees in limited detail for all States on March 11, 2008; see www.bls.gov/sae/saeaepp.htm. These series include average hourly earnings and average weekly hours. In late 2008, BLS plans to release experimental statewide estimates of total private gross monthly earnings.

Definitions and Methodology - In order to publish all employee average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings, BLS is collecting all employees total payroll and all employees total hours from survey respondents.  The definitions of these data items parallel the definitions used for the production worker payroll and hours data; the only difference is that they cover all employees rather than just production or non-supervisory workers.  See www.bls.gov/ces/idcf/forme_mp.pdf for a sample collection form.  Additionally, the same estimation formulas currently used for the published series on production and non-supervisory workers are used for the all employee hours and earnings series.  More detailed information on current estimation formulas can be found at www.bls.gov/web/cestn1.htm . 

The gross monthly earnings (GME) data item collected from respondents is more expansive than the all employee payroll data because it includes all non-wage cash payments made directly to workers from their employers, in addition to regular wage and salary payments.  GME includes items such as bonuses, exercised stock options, and lump sum payments.  In addition, the time period covered is more expansive.  The all employee payroll data item covers just employees working the pay period that includes the 12th of the month, while GME covers all workers who were paid at any time during the month.  The GME is similar to the definition for total wages used in the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program, but is not precisely the same because the total wages definitions vary slightly across States due to differing Unemployment Insurance coverage (www.bls.gov/cew/cewtnr.htm). The estimation formula used for the experimental published GME series is analogous to the weighted link and taper estimator used for average weekly hours and earnings series.  BLS is testing an alternative estimator for GME that is similar to the estimator currently used for the CES employment estimates.  For more details on estimators used by BLS for these new series, see www.bls.gov/ces/cesaeforms.pdf .

 

Experimental Data Series are presented below in tables and charts.  BLS welcomes user comments and inquiries on these data series via email.
