Idaho nonfarm employment (CES)
Monthly survey of employers estimating the number of paid employees on nonfarm payrolls, by state and industry. Counted from a sample survey of employer payrolls, unlike the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which is compiled from the administrative unemployment-insurance records nearly every employer must file.

Caveats
- The annual figure is the mean of the year's 12 seasonally adjusted monthly values, BLS's own annual-average convention.
- The source publishes this series in thousands of persons to one decimal place; figures here are precise only to the nearest hundred.
- Idaho Department of Labor republishes this BLS series for Idaho; it is not an independent source.
