The Current Employment Statistics (CES)  program provides the most current estimates of nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings data by industry (place of
work) for the nation as a whole, all states, and most major metropolitan areas. The CES survey is a federal-state cooperative endeavor in which states develop
state and sub-state data using concepts, definitions, and technical procedures prescribed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Estimates produced by the
CES program include both full- and part-time jobs. Excluded are self-employment, as well as agricultural and domestic positions. In Connecticut, more than 4,000
employers are surveyed each month to determine the number of the jobs in the State. |
