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.

《就业与工资季度普查》（QCEW）项目（亦称ES-202），汇集了受纽约州失业保险（UI）法案覆盖的雇主提供的就业与工资数据。该计划是美国劳工统计局的一项合作项目。QCEW数据涵盖了纽约州约97%的非农就业人口，为员工及其工资提供了一个全面的普查，同时提供了按行业、州、区域和县级行政划分的最为详尽的就业与工资数据。所谓“覆盖”的就业范围广泛，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、县和市政府雇员。联邦雇员虽受另一法律管辖，但在此项目中被视为覆盖范围之内。不受失业保险覆盖的雇员类别包括部分农业工人、铁路工人、私人家庭雇员、学生雇员、自雇人士以及无偿家庭成员。QCEW数据与月度当前就业统计（CES）数据相似，均反映工作地点的就业情况；因此，如果一个人同时拥有两份工作，其会被计算两次。然而，由于QCEW项目仅测量受失业保险法覆盖的就业，其总计将不同于CES就业总计，因为失业保险排除了某些雇员类别。1975年至2000年的行业数据反映了标准行业分类（SIC）代码。
