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），系依据纽约州失业保险（UI）法案，对受该法案覆盖的雇主所收集的就业与工资数据。该项目与美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）开展合作。QCEW数据涵盖了纽约州约97%的非农业就业人口，为员工及其工资的虚拟普查以及州、地区和县级层面上最完整的就业与工资数据的总体提供了全面的参考。所谓‘覆盖’的就业，广义上包括私营部门员工以及受纽约州失业保险（UI）法案保险的州、县和市政府员工。联邦政府雇员虽受不同法律保险，但在此项目中亦被视为覆盖对象。不受UI法案覆盖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数据与每月的现行就业统计（CES）数据相似，均反映工作地点的就业情况；因此，若个人同时持有两份工作，其将被计算两次。然而，由于QCEW项目按定义仅衡量受失业保险法案覆盖的就业，因此其总计数将不同于CES就业总计数，这是由于UI法案排除的员工类别所致。1975年至2000年的行业级数据反映了《标准行业分类》（SIC）代码。
