		Improved Usability of QCEW State and Local Government Employment and Wages
	
	QCEW state and local government employment and wage measures will include data for some states 
	that were previously suppressed for confidentiality reasons. Publication of these data is 
	possible because state and local government employment and wages are fully disclosable by law 
	in many states. The newly available data accounted for about 4.2 million in June 2022 employment. 
	Suppressed data were always included in totals and do not represent an increase in employment.
	
	For more information about the improved usability of QCEW state and local government data, see 
	www.bls.gov/cew/additional-resources/improved-usability-of-state-and-local-government-data.htm.
