What's New

The Veggie-Matic of Industry Workforce Data

A new summary of data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program serves up a hearty helping of industry employment and wage data, thanks to the program's powerful data slicing and dicing. Learn more about the extent of detailed information available through the QCEW program.

Or explore for yourself the vast outputs from its slicing and dicing in the 2021 Summary. Annual average 2021 QCEW data is now available in the virtual labor market data system as well. Visit our QCEW menu page for access and instructions as needed.
