QCEW data include information at the most detailed industry level (to
the 6-digit NAICS industry since 2001) on
establishment counts, annual employment, and annual and weekly wages for every
county, Metropolitan Statistical Area, and state, as well as data for Puerto
Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and national totals. QCEW data include the most timely
data available at the county level. For data before 2001, the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, 1987 provided the basis for industry coding of QCEW information.
The cooperating State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs)
have labor market information offices that publish and disseminate QCEW data for their
States.
