Description

Emsi's occupation hires and separations dataset provides hires and separations for employees by 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').

Use Cases
