Availability of QWI data on VirtualRDC

February 13th, 2007


Since 2002, the Cornell Restricted Access Data Center (CRADC) has provided access to the full set of Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) on its compute servers. The cost associated with this access were funded through NSF grant SES-9978093. The grant ended in September 2005, but we have continued to provide access to existing and new users.

Since January 2007, CRADC is no longer approving new projects. The most current version of the data is being moved to a new server that is part of the VirtualRDC (see http://vrdc.ciser.cornell.edu for information on the VirtualRDC) for general download access, and new users will be directed to that site.
