Dear Employer,
About a month ago, we sent you a letter or email requesting your participation in the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics
(OEWS) program. As of this mailing, we have not received your response. The OEWS program is conducted by the Michigan Bureau
of Labor Market Information & Strategic Initiatives in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The information you
provide will be used for statistical purposes only, and all identifying information for non-government establishments will be held in
strict confidence to the full extent permitted by law.
What information do I need to provide?
We are requesting data for every employee who worked at or reported to the location specified after “Report for” in the mailing
address during the pay period that included <refer_date>.
For each of these employees, please report the following:
Job title
Brief description of duties
Part-time or full-time status
Hourly wage rate or annual salary
Weekly hours
Hire date
Gender
Birth year
Department (optional)
How do I provide my information?
An Excel template is available at www.bls.gov/respondents/oes/templateMI.xlsx or you can provide a report from your own
payroll or personnel system. An example spreadsheet and instructions for uploading your file are on the next page. Please remove
personally identifiable information like employee names or Social Security numbers.
There are two electronic submission options:
Online Go to IDCFOEWS.BLS.GOV and log in using your unique IDCF number, <sched_num>. Provide the requested
contact and establishment information, then upload your data file.
Email Send an email with your data file and IDCF number to «state_email». BLS encourages respondents to encrypt
email attachments and send the password in a separate email. Please do not include sensitive information in the body of
the email.
When do I need to provide my information?
Please respond within two weeks. Your timely response will help reduce program costs and save taxpayer money by eliminating
the need for additional mailings and telephone calls to you.
What if I have questions?
If you have any questions or if we can help you submit your data, please call us at <state_phone> or send us an email. For more
information, visit www.bls.gov/respondents/oes/MI.htm and michigan.gov/lmi.
Thank you for your time and attention – we appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
«state_signature_1»

As a participant in a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) statistical survey, you should be aware that use of electronic transmittal methods in reporting data to
the BLS involves certain inherent risks to the confidentiality of those data. Further, you should be aware that responsible electronic transmittal practices
employed by the BLS cannot completely eliminate those risks. The BLS is committed to the responsible treatment of confidential information and takes
rigorous security measures to protect confidential information in its possession.
Submitting OEWS Data Online
Many companies send us a report from their payroll or personnel system. First, export or create a file with
information about the employees who worked at, or reported to, the location specified after “Report for” in
the mailing address for the pay period that included <refer_date>. We prefer Excel files (.xlsx), but can
accept almost any file format except executable (.exe) files. An example spreadsheet is below.
