From September 2023 to September 2024, employment increased in 264 of the 369 largest U.S. counties,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. In September 2024, national employment increased
to 155.4 million, a 0.8-percent increase over the year, as measured by the Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. Kings, NY, had the largest over-the-year increase in

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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. The quality concerns with Colorado data have been sufficiently addressed
to resume publication. Effective with this release, QCEW is resuming publication of substate and
industry employment and wage data for Colorado. For more information, see www.bls.gov/cew/
notices/2025/resumption-of-publication-of-colorado-employment-and-wage-data.htm.
