Description

Emsi's occupation firm job change dataset provides the number of jobs that firms created or destroyed within a particular area and occupation. 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').
