Establishment Size Data Available from QCEW
In addition to richly detailed employment and wage data, the Quarterly
Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program also produces data on
establishments, employment, and wage by size of establishment for the
first quarter of each year. The size category of each
establishment is determined by the March employment level. These size
class data are available at the national level by 6-digit NAICS, and at
the State level by NAICS sector. It is important to note that each
establishment of a multi-establishment firm is tabulated separately into
the appropriate size category. The total employment level of the reporting
multi-establishment company is not used in the size tabulation.
For the 2011 final national data table, click here (PDF). For the
2011 final data by state table, click here (PDF). Both
tables are available in our annual bulletin, Employment and
Wages Online Annual Averages.
These data are based on the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). For more information on how the QCEW data are classified
under different industry classification systems, please refer to the QCEW FAQ #17.
