Description

This dataset contains job counts by class of worker, area, occupation, age band, and gender. The areas available are nation, state, MSA, and county. All historic years 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. ZIP-level figures are not available for occupation-specific age and gender data.

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').

See emsi.us.occ.hires.seps for data regarding hires and separations.
