Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Annual 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.

《就业与工资季度普查》（QCEW）项目（亦称ES-202），由纽约州失业保险（UI）法规定的雇主收集就业与工资数据。该项目系与美国劳工统计局的协同合作项目。QCEW数据涵盖了纽约州约97%的非农就业人口，提供了员工及其工资的全面普查，以及按行业、州、区域和县级行业分类的最为详尽的就业与工资数据体系。“涵盖”的就业范围广泛，包括私营部门员工以及受纽约州失业保险（UI）法案保障的州、县和市政府员工。联邦政府员工虽受不同法律保障，但在此项目中被视为涵盖对象。不受失业保险覆盖的员工类别包括部分农业工人、铁路工人、私人家庭服务人员、学生工、自雇人士以及无报酬的家庭工人。QCEW数据与每月的当前就业统计（CES）数据相似，均反映工作地点的就业情况；因此，若个人持有两份工作，则其将被计算两次。然而，由于QCEW项目仅衡量受失业保险法规定的就业，其总计将不同于CES就业总计，这是因为失业保险排除了一些员工类别。
