BLS weight adjustment is a widely used method for business surveys with non-responses and outliers. Recent surveys show that the non-response weight adjustment of the BLS method is the same as the ratio imputation method. In this paper, we suggested a modified BLS weight adjustment method by imputing missing values instead of using weight adjustment for non-response. Monthly labor survey data is used for a small Monte-Carlo simulation and we conclude that the suggested method is superior to the original BLS weight adjustment method.
