CES Quarterly Birth/Death Comparison Tables

The tables on this page show the differences between the birth/death forecasts calculated from an annual update of the input data and a quarterly update of the input data. Tables are available from 2004 to 2014. In the tables, the second column titled "Birth Death" indicates whether the data represent the birth/death forecasts produced from annual or quarterly input data and whether that forecast was used in production or was part of a simulation.

From 2004 to 2009, CES used birth/death forecasts based on an annual update of the input data in CES estimate calculations. The tables corresponding to those years compare the annual production birth/death forecasts to simulated forecasts based on a quarterly update of the input data.

From 2010 to 2014, CES used birth/death forecasts based on a quarterly update of the input data in CES estimate calculation. The tables corresponding to those years compare the annual birth/death forecasts produced during the annual review of forecasts to the forecasts used in production based on the quarterly update of input files.

After 2014, CES began adjusting birth/death forecasting to account for quarterly sample implementation in CES estimation and no longer produces birth/death forecasts comparable to prior years using annual input data. Consequently, there will be no further updates to this page.

More information about quarterly sample implementation in the CES program is available in The Sample section of the CES Technical Notes at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cestn.htm#section1. More information about the CES birth/death model is available in the Birth/Death Model section of the CES Technical Notes at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cestn.htm#section5c.
