Annual Pay Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) The Annual Refiling Survey is conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) as a component of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. The ARS helps ensure businesses are appropriately categorized by industry, which in turn helps ensure the labor market statistics produced and published by industry are accurate and reflective of the economy. Frequently asked questions about the ARS are answered on the BLS website. Employers asked to complete the ARS are encouraged to participate online as a cost-saving measure. Average Weekly Earnings
