Notes: Revisions to the Establishment Survey Data in June 2003
With the release of May data on June 6, The Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) will introduce several major changes to the establishment
survey, which are described below. In addition, the
establishment-based series on non-farm payroll employment, hours, and
earnings will reflect the annual benchmark adjustments for March 2002
and updated seasonal adjustment factors. All nonfarm payroll series,
produced from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, will be
converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system to the 2002 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) with the release of May 2003 estimates. The NAICS conversion
involves major definitional changes to many of the currently published
SIC-based series. Historical time series will be reconstructed as part
of the NAICS conversion process. All published series will have a
NAICS-based history extending back to at least January 1990. Also
beginning in June 2003, the CES program will convert to concurrent
seasonal adjustment, which uses all available monthly estimates,
including those for the current month, in developing seasonal factors.
Currently, the CES program projects seasonal factors twice a year.
With the introduction of concurrent seasonal adjustment, BLS will no
longer publish seasonal factors for CES national estimates.
Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is
available through the BLS public database on the Internet, via the CES
homepage at http://www.bls.gov/ces or by calling 202-691-6555.
