Historical Net Birth-Death Forecasts

Implementation of the net birth-death forecasts was associated with the implementation of a probability-based sample design and estimator. The probability-based sampling methodology was phased in gradually under the following schedule: beginning in June 2000 (with the March 1999 Benchmark), wholesale trade on an SIC-basis was under the new methodology; in June 2001 (with the March 2000 Benchmark), mining, construction, and manufacturing were added on an SIC-basis; in June 2002 (with the March 2001 Benchmark), all of total private with the exception of services were under the probability-based sampling methodology; with the conversion to NAICS in June 2003 (with the March 2002 Benchmark), all of the total private industries were produced under the probability-based sampling methodology.

These are included to account for rapid changes in employment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ⁽³⁾ CES sample enrollment for this month is lagged by one quarter (for more on this see the CES notice). Therefore, net birth-death forecasts have been lagged to match that sample. For more about sample rotation see the Birth-death model under quarterly sample rotation in the CES Technical Notes.
