Notice of Publication Changes with the Release of Data on February 7, 2025
With the release of January 2025 data on February 7, 2025, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program implemented publication changes related to annual sample review.
Employment Situation News Release Table Changes
There were no changes to Employment Situation News Release tables.
Series Changes as a Result of Annual Sample Review
All CES series are evaluated annually for sample size, coverage, and response rates. The following changes resulted from a re-evaluation of the sample and universe coverage for CES industries, which are based on the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries. For information about the use of NAICS in the CES program, see www.bls.gov/ces/naics/. Some industries no longer have sufficient sample to be estimated and published separately and were discontinued or combined with other similar industries for estimation and publication purposes.
Part of the BLS mission is to provide as much data to users as possible while maintaining data accuracy, quality, and adherence to disclosure rules. For the 2024 benchmark and to achieve this part of the BLS mission, CES reviewed unpublished industries to test if they can be published. To identify industries for potential publication, the CES program evaluated unpublished series for sample size, coverage, and response rates and tested for respondent confidentiality. For industries that passed these tests, only all employee (AE) data were added for the 2024 benchmark. Non-AE data for these industries will be evaluated in the coming year. The CES program will also conduct additional testing to decide how often new industries will be added. Historical data for the new series were reconstructed to provide consistent time series. CES industries published starting with the 2024 benchmark are listed in table 4.
A list of currently published CES series is available at www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesseriespub.htm.
Only directly estimated data types are noted in the following tables: all employees (AE), AE average weekly hours (AE AWH), AE average hourly earnings (AE AHE), AE average weekly overtime hours (AE AWOH), production and nonsupervisory employees (PE), PE average weekly hours (PE AWH), PE average hourly earnings (PE AHE), PE average weekly overtime hours (PE AWOH), and women employees (WE). Directly estimated data types other than AE are collectively called non-AE data types.

- Non-AE Series Changes Due to Annual Sample Review
Series with CES Industry Code or Title Changes
Some series have new CES industry codes or titles as a result of the series changes (table 1). These CES industry code or title changes were applied to all data types published for the designated series. Historical data for these series with new CES industry codes or CES industry titles are impacted as noted on the remainder of this page; historical data is available under the new CES industry codes or CES industry titles.
