Notice of Series Changes with the Release of Data on February 6, 2009

All CES series are evaluated annually for sample size, coverage, and response rates. The following series changes result from a re-evaluation of the sample and universe coverage for NAICS industries. Some series proved to have sufficient sample to be broken into more detail. Other small industries no longer have sufficient sample to be estimated and published separately and have been combined with other similar industries for estimation and publication purposes, as shown below. Historical data for the series with changed scope were reconstructed to provide consistent time series.
