Description

Emsi's detailed industry dataset provides job counts, hires, separations, and turnover rate by class of worker, area, industry, age group, and gender. All historic years back to 2001 are available, and the data is projected out two years beyond the current industry year. 'Current industry year' refers to the latest year for which data is available from QCEW, and is not always equivalent to the current calendar year. Data is available at the nation, state, MSA, and county level.

When requesting an MSA code as the area constraint in a query, the code must be prepended by MSA (e.g. for MSA code 10540, use 'MSA10540').

Use Cases

Questions answered by this dataset:

• What is the male-to-female employment ratio in the Travel Agencies industry?
• How many 25-34 year olds are employed in Government industries in New York?
• How many 19-21 year olds were hired in 2010?
• Has the number of separations for women in the General Medical and Surgical Hospitals industry increased or decreased over the last 5 years?

Metrics

• Jobs: The number of occupied positions. This is not quite the same as workers because one worker might fill more than one position.
• Hires: The number of hires made in that industry. For more information, see https://kb.economicmodeling.com/glossary/hires/
• Separations: The number of separations from an industry. Both quits and fires are included in the separations figure. Like hires, separations comes from the Census Bureau's Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) dataset.
• TurnoverRate: The rate of separations per job.
