The Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program provides current monthly statistics on employment,
hours, and earnings, by industry and geography. CES estimates are
among the most visible and widely-used Principal Federal Economic
Indicators (PFEIs). CES data are also among the timeliest of the
PFEIs, with their release each month by the BLS in the Employment
Situation, typically on the first Friday of each month. The
statistics are fundamental inputs in economic decision processes at
all levels of government, private enterprise, and organized
labor.
