The national QWI hires data

Description

The data on new hires at a national level are obtained from the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) of the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program at the U.S. Census Bureau (Abowd et al., 2009). The national QWI hires data covers a variable number of years, with some states providing time series going back to 1990 (e.g., Washington), and others (e.g., Massachusetts) only commencing at 2010. For each of 51 states (excluding D.C. but including Puerto Rico) there is a new hires time series for each county. Additional description of the data, along with its relevancy to labor economics, can be found in Hyatt and McElroy (2019).
