Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) Historical Annual Data: 1975 - 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. Industry level data from 1975 to 2000 is reflective of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.

《季度就业与工资普查》（QCEW）项目（亦称ES-202），系纽约州失业保险（UI）法覆盖范围内的雇主收集就业与工资数据的程序。该项目与美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）合作开展。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、地区和县级行政区划划分的就业与工资数据的最全面概览。“覆盖”就业范围广泛，包括私营部门员工以及根据纽约州失业保险（UI）法案投保的州、县和市政府员工。联邦雇员虽受其他法律投保，但亦被视为项目覆盖对象。不属于UI投保范围的员工类别包括部分农业工人、铁路工人、私人家庭雇工、学生工、自雇者和无偿家庭成员。QCEW数据与每月的当前就业统计（CES）数据相似，均反映按工作地点划分的职位；因此，若个人拥有两个职位，则会被计算两次。然而，由于QCEW项目按定义仅衡量受失业保险法覆盖的就业，其总数将与CES就业总数不同，这是由于UI排除的员工类别所致。1975年至2000年的行业数据反映了《标准工业分类》（SIC）代码。
