Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages

Resumption of Publication of Colorado Employment and Wage Data
On November 20, 2024, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) suspended publication of industry and substate data for Colorado due to data quality concerns. These quality concerns were 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 quality concerns with Colorado data have been sufficiently addressed to resume publication. On February 19, 2025, QCEW will resume publication of substate and industry employment and wage data for Colorado with the issuance of the County Employment and Wages news release for third quarter 2024. With the full data update on March 5, 2025, Colorado industry and substate data for second quarter 2024 will be available in all QCEW data tools and downloadable files.
