1. Not a super high profile survey, but extremely important

Note that BLS's Current Employment Statistics program which produces the monthly jobs data completely excludes Agriculture. The Quarterly Census Of Employment & Wages program, collected from the universe of UI records, does include employment and wages for a limited subset of the Agriculture industry, but only the NASS survey provides a comprehensive source of agricultural employment and wages. And now it will be gone. Of course this will screw over farm workers.

Count on this being just the first of many surveys mostly from BLS and Census to be canceled so that accurate data on the population and workforce and wages will no longer be widely available.
