GUIDE TO STATE AND LOCAL WORKFORCE DATA: FOR ANALYSIS AND INFORMED DECISION MAKING

There is a wealth of state and local employment and economic data – most of it free – from government and private sector sources. We have organized thisinformation by topic to make it easier to find and use. All of the text in b!*e are Internet links that you can click on to go directly to the source of information
described. We +a)e &+o,n published #ata b*t (eep $n m$n# t+at man" %o)ernment a%en'$e& +a)e a##$t$ona! #ata a)a$!ab!e $n *np*b!$&+e# tab!e&.

• The links in the first column will take you directly to the principal source in most cases the specific source for state and local data. The sponsoringorganization and the abbreviation used for the source are shown after the title.
• Coverage ! These two columns summarize the geographical level of detail available from the source. If the number of localities is limited this means thatonly the largest localities are included.
• Frequently-asked questions, contact info, technical details, etc. These links will show you "A#$s the actual %uestions in the survey or datainstrument additional technical information and contact information should you have further %uestions.
• Other selected publications ! This column highlights some important additional publications and features which you may find useful.• Notes ! The last column provides miscellaneous useful information about the data source including a brief explanation of what is available how long
after data collection the information is issued and when the data series began.• Where appropriate notes are also shown in the section heading rows which are marked in yellow. If Internet links are included in these rows the text is
in bo!#fa'e t"pe. • The section headings are listed in a manner that we believe will be more helpful than alphabetical order! first general sources& then the basic building
blocks of workforce statistics such as employment'unemployment and compensation'benefits (with inflation sources listed immediately after this section)&then a number of categories such as labor*management and safety and health statistics which will probably be of interest to more specialized users& thensources relevant to specific industries occupations and other worker*specific sub+ects (such as age race and ethnicity disability status etc.)& and finallymiscellaneous economic and population topics.
Genera! T$p&,tate and local data users desire comprehensive information that is as current and geographically detailed as possible. ,ince this ideal does not exist
compromises are necessary. It can be useful to draw information from more than one source which can help minimize weaknesses in timeliness or geographicalspecificity. The individual listings below provide more detail on geographic detail and publication lags but below are the best sources for those who wish toprioritize one or the other factor. For more specific tips, see the box on the contents page. Mo&t %eo%rap+$'a!!" #eta$!e# &o*r'e&: -ensuses (both the population census done every / years and the economic censuses done every 0 years) cover theentire population that is being surveyed (economic censuses only survey specific industries). ,imilarly the #uarterly -ensus of 1mployment and Wages(#-1W) includes all employees covered by unemployment insurance. 2owever most data sources only survey a sample of the entire population (many but notall are random samples the ideal type). In general larger sample sizes permit greater geographic detail. The most geographically detailed sources of labormarket information other than censuses are the -ensus 3ureau$s American -ommunity ,urvey (A-,) and the 3ureau of 4abor ,tatistics$ (34,) -urrent1mployment ,tatistics (-1,) 4ocal Area 5nemployment ,tatistics (4A5,) and 6ccupational 1mployment ,tatistics (61,) programs.Mo&t *p3to3#ate &o*r'e&: 1xcept for the -1, and 4A5, (which publish data monthly with about a one to two month lag) information from the mostgeographically detailed sources is published with anywhere from 7 months to 8 or more years delay. The most current information derives from the -1, and
34, products from the Current Population Survey (-9,) such as unemployment rates (and 4A5, which combines data from both sources). :uch of thisinformation is published only a few weeks after the survey. ,imilarly the private sector 2elp Wanted 6nline is published with only a short delay.

To keep this guide manageable it primarily includes sources of labor market data with a few exceptions. ;ata that measure inflation (such as the -onsumer9rice Index) are included because it is almost always desirable to ad+ust monetary trends (e.g. earnings) for inflation to obtain a more realistic perspective. The-ommerce ;epartment$s 3ureau of 1conomic Analysis (31A) state and local data are included because their statistics on personal income are dominated byearned income. 9opulation data are included because employment and training programs (and many other "ederal programs) base eligibility and fundingdecisions in part on population data.
The -ensus 3ureau uses a variety of online tools that can be used to find tabulate organize graph and'or map information. These are conveniently describedat ;ata Access Tools . <eference contacts for specific sources are listed in the table below but see -ontact 34, or -ensus 3ureau sub+ect'topic contacts for
general lists. The -ensus 3ureau can also conduct special surveys at the re%uest of a governmental unit except during the period immediately before and afterthe decennial census as part of its ,pecial -ensus 9rogram . "or 34, methodological issues the best single source is the 34, 2andbook of :ethods .
Ke" Def$n$t$on&Genera!: The 34, =lossary is an excellent source for employment*related terms which is complemented by the more general -ensus 3ureau glossary .
Geo%rap+$'a! term&: A metropolitan area (of which there are three types) is made up of one or more counties and consists of a core area containing asubstantial population nucleus together with ad+acent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. 1ach metropolitan statistical area (:,A) must have at least one urbanized area of 0/ /// or more inhabitants and micropolitan statistical areas include between / ///*0/ ///population. ,ome :,As have subdivisions called metropolitan divisions. Areas outside of :,As are called non*metropolitan areas& given their smallerpopulation size there is much less data available for them (a good source is the American -ommunity ,urvey shown in the first row below). "or moreinformation and definitions of less*fre%uently used terms see the -ensus 3ureau$s =eographic Terms and ;efinitions =eographic Areas <eference :anualGuide to State and Local Census Geography and 5rban and <ural -lassification & and the 5.,. Agriculture ;ept.$s <ural*5rban -ontinuum -odes . Note: toprotect survey respondents$ confidentiality some data for less populous states or localities are not published.
S*r)e" term&: Information is collected directly from the labor force through what are referred to as +o*&e+o!# or #emo%rap+$' &*r)e"& (the decennialpopulation census is the oldest household survey and the -9, is the oldest regular monthly survey). >ote that household surveys other than the -ensus3ureau$s American -ommunity ,urvey usually cover the civilian non*institutional population and thus exclude the homeless military personnel and those inprisons and mental health facilities. Information is collected from employers through what are referred to as e&tab!$&+ment &*r)e"& (the -1, is the oldestestablishment survey). An establishment is defined by 34, as ?an economic unit which produces goods or services such as a factory mine or store. It isgenerally at a single location and engaged predominantly in one type of activity.@ Thus a single business can be comprised of thousands of establishments. "ormore information see the -ensus 3ureau$s =uidance on ;ifferences in 1mployment and 5nemployment 1stimates from ;ifferent ,ources and 4abor "orce "act,heet on differences among different employment sources .
Wor(for'e term&
mployment : mployment refers to the number of individuals at work. mployees mean only wage and salary workers and excludes the self*employed. Thelabor force means individuals who are either working or not working but actively looking for work (the unemployed)& 34, classifies the remainder of thepopulation as out of the labor force. >ote that the employment counts differ between establishment and household surveys (defined above) primarily becauseestablishment surveys count the number of jobs while household surveys count the number of workers . I.e. individuals who hold two +obs would be countedtwice in an establishment survey (once for each +ob) but only be counted once in a household survey.
Compen&at$on: Compensation means all monetary and in*kind benefits (including health insurance sick leave etc.) that a worker receives. arnings meanall monetary compensation. !ages are monetary compensation paid by an employer (i.e. excluding self*employment earnings) and may exclude irregular paysuch as bonuses. "enefits are non*monetary forms of compensation.

If you are unfamiliar with a particular source we recommend that you follow these steps.
1. "efore *&$n% t+e #ata rea# t+e ba'(%ro*n# mater$a! e&pe'$a!!" t+e o)er)$e, an# fre2*ent!" a&(e# 2*e&t$on& /FA4 &1. If multiple sources existfor a specific type of information read a reference that explains the differences among sources to ensure that you choose the most suitable source (wehave usually listed such references in the first row of a section to minimize repetition). It$s usually also worthwhile to read the exact survey %uestion(s)and technical or methodological references.
2. 5a" part$'*!ar attent$on to +o, &*'+ 'r$t$'a! term& a& emp!o"ment an# 'ompen&at$on are #ef$ne# especially the reference time period and who is
answering the %uestions (employers or employees). 1.g. many government programs (but only some workforce statistical sources) reflect a count ofevery person served during an entire year. In contrast most employment survey counts reflect an average at a specific point in time (such as a singleweek). Therefore it may be inappropriate to use these two sets of information to calculate the percentage of the unemployed served (in addition to theproblem caused by the fact that programs often serve those who are out of work but not technically classified as unemployed).
3. S'an t+e 'omp!ete !$&t of tab!e& an# $#ent$f" a!! t+o&e pert$nent to "o*r $n2*$r". Then examine the relevant full tables more closely to determinewhich best suit your needs. Table titles may not ade%uately capture the information in the table and grabbing the first data one sees in the hope that it$sthe most relevant data often causes mistakes and misinterpretations that can be avoided. If in doubt use the appropriate ?contact@ link to check with ananalyst.
The -ensus 3ureau has a Web site called 5sing ;ata 1ffectively which has a variety of tips for different users.
