John Abowd and Lars Vilhuber have used the existing public-use QWI data to construct the first national estimates. The national estimates are an important enhancement to existing series because they include demographic and industry detail for both worker and job flows compiled from data that have been integrated at the micro-level by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Program at the Census Bureau.

The most recent QWIPU data for all participating LED states are available for download. The release R2009Q3 covers data through 2008:4. [More »]

We have uploaded the corrected version of the Idaho files for R2009Q2. Users who have previously these files prior to 2009-08-27 should re-download their files. This solves the previously identified problem. All other states are unaffected and unchanged.

We’ve updated the QWI cheatsheet to include the (important) flags regarding data quality of the published statistics. We’ve also added some SAS programs into the experimental/ folder that map the information from the cheatsheet into SAS formats. [More »]

We have identified an issue with the downloadable QWI data for Idaho from Census Bureau’s R2009Q2 release. It appears that the data series only covers statistics through 2008:2 rather than 2008:3. We have contacted the Census Bureau, who are investigating the issue. [More »]

The SAS data files for QWIPU release R2009Q2 have replaced the previous version of the QWIPU on the compute nodes. [More »]

We are making last adjustments to the QWI release for R2009Q2 (data through 2008Q3). We expect to be able to release it later this week for download by authorized users and access on the compute nodes.

For compute users, we have converted all SAS zero-obs files to Stata files. Currently available files under /economic and /mixed are thus accessible to Stata users as well.

The site administrator-cum-sysadmin is away until July 14, 2009. No accounts (for download: QWI, OnTheMap; for compute access) will be created during this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
