Description

Group all the functions

Usage

get_qcew_cut(data_cut = 10, year_start = 1990, year_end = 2015,
  industry = "naics", frequency = "quarter",
  path_data = "~/Downloads/tmp_data/", subdir = T, download = "",
  url_wayback = "", write = F, verbose = F)

Arguments

data_cut	see vignette for a list of the cut
year_start	start year for which we want data
year_end	end year for which we want data
industry	download naics or sic data
frequency	download the quarterly files or the yearly files (default is quarterly)
path_data	where do we store the data
subdir	do we create a random dir
download	if empty do download the file from the BLS website, if not use a local version with download as path
url_wayback	allows to specify the path in internet wayback machine that kept some of the archive
write	save it somewhere
verbose	useful for looking all the downloads link (debugging mode)

Value

data.table aggregate

Note

downloads data from the Quarterly Census for Employment and Wages program, for desired years, splitting data by the aggregation level codes and exporting them into separate files sorted by year and aggregation level

: we intend to have a single file for each aggregation level, but it is more convenient to merge the individual files using an external command line tool like cat Other code: loads data.table with option to write it for a given cut
