This figure was parsed from Commerce's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests $230.4M for Employment and Unemployment Statistics, within Commerce's Salaries and Expenses account. That is down 8.6% on the FY2026 figure of $252.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

In the agency's own words

What this funds

Produces BLS's core labor-force data—the monthly unemployment rate, payroll employment, and job openings—from the Current Population and Establishment surveys.

Extracted from Bureau of Labor Statistics, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
