Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases current
employment data in the Employment Situation. The data comes from two
different surveys: the Current Population Survey (CPS), also known as the
household survey, and the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey,
also known as the establishment or payroll survey.
While both surveys measure employment, they have different samples,
employment definitions, estimation procedures and concepts. These two
series track well together over long periods but, in the short term, do occa-
sionally diverge.
