#' 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).
