(CES) program began work in 2005 to add new series on hours and earnings. New series have been developed such as average hourly earnings and average weekly hours of all nonfarm private sector employees. Historically, the CES program has produced average hours and earnings series for such categories as production workers in the manufacturing industry and nonsupervisory workers in other industries. The new hours and earnings, covering all employees rather than just production or non-supervisory workers, are more comprehensive in coverage. The release of these new series are designated "experimental" because of the limited experience to date with the editing and review of the sample reports and the resultant estimates. The experimental State series includes estimates at a total private sector level and limited industry detail. By the end of 2009, BLS should have sufficient historical data to seasonally adjust the all employee payroll and hours series and is planning to publish them as official CES data in the Employment Situation news release and other BLS publications beginning in February 2010.
