These data pertain for 4.4 million employees, and by local governments for to workers covered by State unemployment insurance (UI) 12.6 million employees.

Similar reports of monthly employment and Federal Government data are detailed for selected industries. Change in industry ClassificaStyistoenms The year 2000 data will be the last from the Covered Employment and Wages (ES-202) program using the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Beginning with the rclease of data for 2001, the program will switch to the 2002 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry. NAICS is the product of a cooperative effort on the part of the statistical agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Due to differences between the NAICS and SIC structures, data for 2001 will not be comparable with the SIC-based data for earlier years. NAICS uses a production-oriented approach to categorize economic units. Units with similar production pro- cesses are classified in the same industry. NAICS focuses on how products and services are created, as opposed to the SIC focus on what is produced. This approach yields significantly different industry groupings from those produced by the SIC approach. Data users will be able to work with new NAICS industrial groupings that better reflect the workings of the U.S. economy. For example, a new industry sector called /nformation brings units that turn information into a commodity together with units thai distribute the commodity and units that provide information services. /nformation’s major components are publishing, broadcasting, telecommunications, information services, and data processing. Under the SIC system, these units were spread across the manufacturing, communications, business services, and amusement services groups. Another new sector of interest is Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. This sector consists of establishments engaged in activities to which human capital is the major input. Users interested in mere information about NAICS can access the U.S. Census Bureau's Web site at http:// www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html. In 2002, BLS will provide ratio tables that can be used to convert historic SIC series to a NAICS basis at http://www.blis.gow/cew/. In 2002, the NAICS 2002 manual will be available from the Government Printing Office (GPO). In the meantime, the NAICS 1997 manual is available from GPO to supplement the information on the Census Web site referenced above. Cuart 1.
