Abstract: 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.

ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden currently requested is 277,763 hours. This request is a large decrease from the previous burden request of 538,240 hours, mainly due to re-calculating burden for EDI reports by firm rather than by report. The re-calculation makes sense since most EDI firms have automated their reporting protocol to transmit their data to us with no or minimal human intervention. Had the burden been calculated as was done previously, the total burden request would have been 530,745 hours, a slight decrease due to a lower sample size.
