Description: In the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2006, signed into law on December 30, 2005, Congress required the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program to collect data on women workers. This revision entrains the required change.
The Current Employment Statistics program provides current monthly statistics on employment, hours, and earnings, by industry. CES data on employment, hours, and earning by industry are among the most visible and widely-used Principal Federal Economic Indicators (PFEIs). CES data are also the timeliest of all PFEIs, with their release by BLS in the Employment Situation on the first Friday of most months.
