Current Employment Statistics

New Hampshire Current Employment Statistics (CES)
Nonfarm Employment by Industry and Number of Jobs by Place of Establishment
Nonfarm employment is a survey-based estimate of jobs by place of work. It does not include the self-employed, unpaid family members, or agricultural workers.

Seasonal Adjustment for Current Employment Statistics (CES) program.
Seasonal adjustment removes the effects of events that follow a more or less regular pattern each year, such as holiday shopping seasons, summer vacation, and weather patterns. These adjustments make it easier to observe the cyclical and other non-seasonal movements in the employment estimates.

Benchmarked Data Files (all files, except production workers, include sub-state areas)

Benchmarking is the process of re-estimating statistics as more complete data become available. The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program benchmark prior years’ estimates annually.
Annual revisions of CES estimates are benchmarked to actual employment counts. These counts are reported on unemployment insurance (UI) tax reports that nearly all employers are required to file with state workforce agencies and are reviewed as part of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. CES estimates are then revised to reflect updated information on business openings and closures as well as information regarding employment not covered by unemployment insurance.
