Business Employment Dynamics (BED) is a set of statistics generated from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. The QCEW Program in Maryland is a cooperative program involving the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor and the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR). BED quarterly data series consist of gross job gains and gross job losses statistics for the entire economy from 1992 forward. These data track changes in employment at the establishment level, and thus provide a picture of the dynamics underlying aggregate net employment growth statistics.
