Notice of Publication Changes with the Release of Data on February 1, 2013

With the release of January 2013 data on February 1, 2013, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program implemented publication changes related to the annual sample review, as well as some unrelated to the annual sample review.

Changes Related to Annual Sample Review

All CES series are evaluated annually for sample size, coverage, and response rates. The following changes result from a re-evaluation of the sample and universe coverage for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries. Some 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.

For a list of currently published CES series, please see www.bls.gov/ces/cesseriespub.htm.

News Release Table Changes

As a result of some of the annual sample review series changes, minor changes were made to Employment Situation News Release Table B-1. A sample version of the new Employment Situation News Release Table B-1 in HTML format is linked below.

  • Miscellaneous manufacturing has been renamed Miscellaneous durable goods manufacturing
  • Beverages and tobacco products and Leather and allied products have been combined into the new CES industry Miscellaneous nondurable goods manufacturing

Series Changes as a Result of Annual Sample Review

Only directly estimated data types are included in the series changes tables: all employees (AE), AE average weekly hours (AE AWH), AE average hourly earnings (AE AHE), AE average weekly overtime hours (AE AWOH), production employees (PE), women employees (WE), PE average weekly hours (PE AWH), PE average hourly earnings (PE AHE), and PE average weekly overtime hours (PE AWOH). The directly estimated data types listed except for AE are collectively called non-AE data types.

Series with CES Industry Code or Title Changes

Some series have new CES industry codes or titles as a result of the series changes (Table 1). These CES industry code or title changes have been applied to all data types published for the designated series. Historical data for these series with new CES industry codes or CES industry titles were not impacted; historical data are available under the new CES industry codes or CES industry titles.

Note

Tables 2 through 7 on this page reference the new CES industry codes and titles, not the previous CES industry codes and titles, as noted in Table 1.

In order to more easily identify affected series, since AE series are published at a more detailed industry level than non-AE series, series changes tables are provided split by AE and non-AE data types. The non-AE tables cover all directly estimated non-AE data types.

AE Tables

Discontinued AE Series

Table 2 contains one series for which AE data are no longer published. The next highest level of publication is noted in the table.

Collapsed AE Series

Table 3 contains series for which AE data are no longer published, but have been included as part of another series. Information about each collapse is available in the table. Historical data for the collapsed series have been reconstructed to provide consistent time series.

Collapsed Non-AE Series

Table 6 contains series for which one or more data types within the non-AE data types are no longer published, but have been included as part of another series. Information about each collapse is available in the table. Historical data for the collapsed series have been reconstructed to provide consistent time series.

Changes Unrelated to Annual Sample Review

Seasonally Adjusted Data Publication Changes

CES began publishing more seasonally adjusted data with the release of January 2013 estimates on February 1, 2013. These data were previously available only by request, but are now available on the public website at www.bls.gov/ces/data.htm. This change in publication status does not impact the seasonally adjusted series published for a given month with the first preliminary release of CES data. (Publication status for first preliminary seasonally adjusted series may also be impacted by the CES series changes noted in Table 1 through Table 7 above.) The newly published seasonally adjusted series will be released with the second preliminary estimates for a given month. Approximately 770 more seasonally adjusted AE series and approximately 4,060 more seasonally adjusted non-AE and derivative series will be published. (Counts of additional series are approximate due to how some of the CES industry code changes, noted in Table 1, impact the additional seasonally adjusted published series.)

Specification files and related information necessary for duplicating the seasonal adjustment process has been updated and for these newly published series, added to the existing documentation available at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesseasadj.htm.
