Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Quarterly Data: Beginning 2000

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program (also known as ES-202) collects employment and wage data from employers covered by New York State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Law. This program is a cooperative program with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. QCEW data encompass approximately 97 percent of New York's nonfarm employment, providing a virtual census of employees and their wages as well as the most complete universe of employment and wage data, by industry, at the State, regional and county levels. "Covered" employment refers broadly to both private-sector employees as well as state, county, and municipal government employees insured under the New York State Unemployment Insurance (UI) Act. Federal employees are insured under separate laws, but are considered covered for the purposes of the program. Employee categories not covered by UI include some agricultural workers, railroad workers, private household workers, student workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers. QCEW data are similar to monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) data in that they reflect jobs by place of work; therefore, if a person holds two jobs, he or she is counted twice. However, since the QCEW program, by definition, only measures employment covered by unemployment insurance laws, its totals will not be the same as CES employment totals due to the employee categories excluded by UI.季度就业与薪资普查（Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages，简称QCEW）项目（又称ES-202）从受纽约州《失业保险（Unemployment Insurance，简称UI）法》覆盖的雇主处收集就业与薪资数据。本项目为与美国劳工统计局合作开展的联合项目。QCEW数据覆盖纽约州约97%的非农就业群体，可提供覆盖全口径雇员及其薪资的虚拟普查结果，同时涵盖按行业划分的州级、区域级及县级层面最完整的就业与薪资数据全域。“受覆盖”就业范畴宽泛涵盖私营部门雇员，以及依照纽约州《失业保险法》参保的州、县及市政政府雇员。联邦政府雇员依照单独法律参保，但仍被纳入本项目的受覆盖范畴。未纳入失业保险覆盖范围的雇员类别包括部分农业工人、铁路工人、私人家庭雇工、学生雇员、个体经营者及无报酬家庭帮工。QCEW数据与月度当前就业统计（Current Employment Statistics，简称CES）数据相似，二者均以工作地点统计就业岗位；因此若一人拥有两份工作，将被计入两次。但由于QCEW项目仅统计受失业保险法规覆盖的就业群体，根据定义其统计总量将与CES就业总量存在差异，原因在于UI覆盖范围排除了部分雇员类别。
