As part of the implementation of its strategic plan, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has increasingly studied the issue of using alternative data to improve both the quality of its data and the process by which those data are collected. The plan includes the goal of integrating alternative data into BLS programs. This article describes the framework used by the BLS Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) program and the potential these data hold for complementing data collected in traditional formats. It also addresses some of the challenges BLS faces when using alternative data and the complementary role that alternative data play in improving the quality of data currently collected. Alternative data can substitute for what is presently being collected from respondents and provide additional information to supplement the variables the CE program produces or to adjust the CE program’s processing and weighting procedures.

During the period between 1992 through 1998, the Bureau of Labor Statistics identified an average of 67 work related deaths of individuals younger than 18 each year. This article describes the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program and summarizes indepth data collected on 59 young worker fatalities in 26 states. These investigations were conducted between May 1986 and February 2002. Young workers ranged in age from 9 to 17 years, with a mean age of 15.3 years: 21 were working in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry; 12 in construction; 10 in manufacturing; 8 in services; and 8 in the retail industry. The majority worked as laborers. Ninety-three percent were young men. Each investigation resulted in the formulation and dissemination of strategies to help prevent future similar occurrences. As an example of state FACE activities, the article describes the Wisconsin FACE program's efforts to foster collaboration between regulatory agencies, researchers, educators, and occupational safety and health professionals, and to integrate efforts aimed at improving safety for young workers.

As one of the most comprehensive compensation tools for motivating employees, compensation package plans are forms of payment in an organization's compensation practices associated with performance. It is generally one of the organization’s highest costs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 69.6% of a business' employee compensation expenses comprise the salaries and wages. While some costs are controllable, most employers must bear several salary-related costs beyond the base salary (Keegan, 2020). By far, there has never been any attempt to investigate the economic implications of the compensation package in terms of savings on expenditures. Hence, this study primarily intends to determine the economic implications of the compensation package to a business process outsourcing (BPO) in Bacolod City in terms of savings on expenditures. Likewise, it examines the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities of the company.
