Suspension of Publication of Colorado Employment and Wage Data
Effective with the release of second quarter 2024 data on November 20, 2024, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) is suspending publication of industry and substate data for Colorado because of data quality issues. Employment data for Colorado showed unusual movements due to ongoing issues with the modernization of the state’s unemployment insurance (UI) system. Because the QCEW microdata are fundamentally a byproduct of state UI systems, QCEW data quality is sensitive to changes in these systems. The Colorado UI claims data are not adversely affected by the new system; the UI claims data are published by the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
This suspension of publication applies to the County Employment and Wages news release, as well as the full QCEW data release in the BLS online database. Colorado industry and substate data for the second quarter of 2024 forward will be unavailable in all QCEW data tools and downloadable files until further notice. Statewide data for Colorado and statewide totals by ownership will continue to be published as scheduled. Publication of industry and substate QCEW data for Colorado will resume pending resolution of data quality concerns.
