Business Employment Dynamics: More Information
Several other programs within BLS produce information closely related to BED data:
The QCEW program provides both quarterly and annual estimates of employment by state, county, and detailed industry. The program also publishes news releases on quarterly county employment and wages and an annual bulletin.
The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program produces monthly estimates of employment, of net changes in employment, and of earnings by detailed industry. These estimates are part of the Employment Situation report, put out monthly by BLS.
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) program provides monthly measures of job openings, as well as measures of employee hires and separations.
