blsQCEW | R Documentation |
Allows users to request quarterly census of employment and wages (QCEW) data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics open access. Users provide parameters and the function returns a data frame. This function is based off of the sample code developed by the BLS that is found at <https://www.bls.gov/cew/doc/access/data_access_examples.htm>.
blsQCEW(method, year = NA, quarter = NA, area = NA, industry = NA,
size = NA)
method |
a string describing which type of data you want requested. Valid options are: Area, Industry and Size. The method is not case sensitive. |
year |
a string for the year of data you want |
quarter |
a string indicating the quarter (1, 2, 3 or 4) or "a" for the annual average. |
area |
a string indicating which area you want the data for. See <https://www.bls.gov/cew/doc/titles/area/area_titles.htm> for all area codes and titles. |
industry |
a string for the NAICS code. Some industry codes contain hyphens but the open data access uses underscores instead of hyphens. So 31-33 becomes 31_33. For all industry codes and titles see: <https://www.bls.gov/cew/doc/titles/industry/industry_titles.htm> |
size |
a string for the size code. See <https://www.bls.gov/cew/doc/titles/size/size_titles.htm> for all establishment size classes and titles. Note: Size data is only available for the first quarter of each year. |
This function is a wrapper for multiple data request methods. See code examples for which parameters are required for which methods. Visit <https://www.bls.gov/cew/opendata.htm> for an overview of the BLS's open data access.
