The Multiple Worksite Report (MWR) is for non-federal businesses subject to State Unemployment Insurance laws and the Report of Federal Employment and Wages (RFEW) is for federal establishments covered under the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program. Both are essentially the same. The survey is a census and the increase of total hours requested, from 190,048 hours to 194,439 hours, was due to the availability of more recent information on the expansion in the total number of businesses in the U.S. economy with multiple-worksite locations.
