The Figure, which has appeared in several of the past issues of
Wyoming Labor Force Trends, illustrates
the two employment series--the Local Area
Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) and the
Current Employment Statistics (CES)--produced in cooperation with the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The LAUS
employment series is derived from a household survey of Wyoming residents and
reflects the number of employed individuals in the state. Each year, during
benchmarking, this series is adjusted to an independent population control total
provided by the Census Bureau. The
administrative Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data featured in the
Table are some of the data used by the Census Bureau
in estimating Wyoming's population.
For additional information regarding these two employment series, please refer to
the article entitled, "Employment Series
Differences: Explanation and Interpretation," by
David Bullard in the June 1998 issue
of Trends.
