What is the difference between Current Employment Estimates and Forecast Employment?

Current Employment estimates are based on Salary, Wage Employment otherwise, known as ES-202 file used by the Michigan Department of Career Development. Only employment of workers covered by state unemployment insurance (UI) and of federal workers covered by the unemployment compensation for federal employees (UCFE) program are included in the ES-202 file.

Forecast Employment is based on Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) county totals. BEA employment is usually higher than ES-202 based employment because BEA makes adjustments to account for employment not covered, or not fully covered, by the state UI and the UCFE programs. The types of employment accounted for in these adjustments are nonprofit organizations not participating in the UI program, students and their spouses employed by public colleges or universities, elected officials and members of the judiciary, interns employed by hospitals and by social service agencies, and insurance agents employed by insurance agencies. BEA accounts for the following employment using additional resources: farms, farm labor contractors, private households, private elementary and secondary schools, religious membership organizations, railroads, military, and U.S. residents who are employed by international organizations and by foreign embassies and consulates in the United States.
