Description

Emsi's monthly industry dataset contains job count data for industries by month from January 2001 to the latest month available from QCEW. Available areas are nation, states, MSAs, counties, and ZIPs. Specific monthly data is derived from QCEW employment data.

When requesting MSA codes or ZIP codes as the area constraint in a query, the code must be prepended by MSA or ZIP, respectively (e.g. for ZIP code 98102, use 'ZIP98102')
