MDES - Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages

Program Summary
Quarterly and annual statistics of employment, wages, and the number of establishments by industry
Statistics are published at the State and County level for employers that are subject to or covered under the State's unemployment insurance law
Data for this program is derived from quarterly tax reports that employers file with our agency and from Multiple Worksite Reports
A key element of this program is to determine the proper industrial classification for employers; each year we send an "Annual Refile Survey" form to one-third of all employers in the State to verify or obtain their industrial classification and geographic location.
Multiple Worksite Reports are sent to employers that have more than one location; this allows us to properly place employment and wages in the proper County
