What is the average annual inflation across all US Cities? What was the monthly unemployment rate (U3) in 2016? What are the top 10 hourly-waged types of work in Pittsburgh, PA for 2016?

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly surveys are conducted to provide estimates of employment, hours, and earnings based on payroll records of business establishments. The CES survey is based on approximately 119,000 businesses and government agencies representing approximately 629,000 individual worksites throughout the United States.

CES data reflect the number of nonfarm, payroll jobs. It includes the total number of persons on establishment payrolls, employed full- or part-time, who received pay (whether they worked or not) for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. Temporary and intermittent employees are included, as are any employees who are on paid sick leave or on paid holiday. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment are counted in each establishment. CES data excludes proprietors, self-employed, unpaid family or volunteer workers, farm workers, and household workers. Government employment covers only civilian employees; it excludes uniformed members of the armed services.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that State workforce agencies prepare under agreement with BLS.

USASpending.gov is the government's official tool for tracking spending, it shows where money goes and who benefits from federal funds.

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 required that federal contract, grant, loan awards over $25k be searchable online to give the American public access to government spending. The data that is collected in USAspending.gov is derived from data gathered at more than a hundred agencies, as well as other government systems. Federal agencies submit contracts, grants, loans and other awards information to be uploaded on USAspending.gov at least twice a month.

The United States spends a lot of money on contracts every year but where does it all go? This data set has information about how much different agencies have spent on awards for the fiscal year 2021. More data can be downloaded, for other years, on USAspending.gov.

Contracts are published to the GSA's Federal Procurement Data System within five days of being awarded, with contract reporting automatically getting posted on USAspending.gov by 9 AM the next day and going live at 8:00 am EST two mornings later

Data Description

This data starts off separated into smaller files that need to be joined.

Data Overview

The federal government buys a lot of things, like office furniture and aircraft. It also buys services, like telephone and Internet access. The Federal Government and its sub-agencies use contracts to buy these things. They use Product and Service Codes (PSC) to classify the items and services they purchase.

An obligation is a promise to spend money. An outlay is when the government spends money. When the government enters into a contract or grant, it promises to spend all of the money. This is so it can pay people who do what they agreed to do. When the government actually pays someone, then it counts as an outlay.

Data Items that Help get Started

There are many different variables in this database, which are spread across multiple files. The most important ones to start learning are:

1. The contractor who won the award - recipient_name
2. The agency issuing the award - awarding_agency_name
3. The product or service code (PSC) - product_or_service_code
4. The industry classification code (NAICS) of the vendor - naics_code
5. How much was obligated - total_dollars_obligated or total_obligated_amount
6. The contract modification number - modification_number
7. The description of the award - award_description
8. The date of award - action_date or award_base_action_date

U.S. Pandemic Mental Health Care

Impact on Households in Previous 4 Weeks

By US Open Data Portal, data.gov [source]

About this dataset

This U.S. Household Pandemic Impacts dataset assesses the mental health care that households in America have been receiving over the past four weeks during the Covid-19 pandemic. Produced by a collaboration between the U.S. Census Bureau, and five other federal agencies, this survey was designed to measure both social and economic impacts of Covid-19 on American households, such as employment status, consumer spending trends, food security levels and housing disruptions among other important factors. The data collected was based on an internet questionnaire which was conducted through emails and text messages sent to randomly selected housing units from across America linked with email addresses or cell phone numbers from the Census Bureau Master Address File Data; all estimates comply with NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions. Be sure to check out more about how U.S Government Works for further details!

This intermediate level data set was extracted from the census bureau database. There are 48842 instances of data set, mix of continuous and discrete (train=32561, test=16281).

The data set has 15 attribute which include age, sex, education level and other relevant details of a person. The data set will help to improve your skills in Exploratory Data Analysis, Data Wrangling, Data Visualization and Classification Models.

Feel free to explore the data set with multiple supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. The Following description gives more details on this data set:

• age: the age of an individual.
• workclass: The type of work or employment of an individual. It can have the following categories:
  • Private: Working in the private sector.
  • Self-emp-not-inc: Self-employed individuals who are not incorporated.
  • Self-emp-inc: Self-employed individuals who are incorporated.
  • Federal-gov: Working for the federal government.
  • Local-gov: Working for the local government.
  • State-gov: Working for the state government.
  • Without-pay: Not working and without pay.
  • Never-worked: Never worked before.
• Final Weight: The weights on the CPS files are controlled to independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population of the US. These are prepared monthly for us by Population Division here at the Census Bureau. We use 3 sets of controls.

These are: 1. A single cell estimate of the population 16+ for each state. 2. Controls for Hispanic Origin by age and sex. 3. Controls by Race, age and sex.

We use all three sets of controls in our weighting program and "rake" through them 6 times so that by the end we come back to all the controls we used.

People with similar demographic characteristics should have similar weights. There is one important caveat to remember about this statement. That is that since the CPS sample is actually a collection of 51 state samples, each with its own probability of selection, the statement only applies within state.

• education: The highest level of education completed.
• education-num: The number of years of education completed.
• marital-status: The marital status.
• occupation: Type of work performed by an individual.
• relationship: The relationship status.
• race: The race of an individual.
• sex: The gender of an individual.
• capital-gain: The amount of capital gain (financial profit).
• capital-loss: The amount of capital loss an individual has incurred.
• hours-per-week: The number of hours works per week.
• native-country: The country of origin or the native country.
• income: The income level of an individual and serves as the target variable. It indicates whether the income is greater than $50,000 or less than or equal to $50,000, denoted as (>50K, <=50K).

On July 1, NITRD released the National Privacy Research Strategy. Research agencies across government participated in the development of the strategy, reviewing existing Federal research activities in privacy-enhancing technologies, soliciting inputs from the private sector, and identifying priorities for privacy research funded by the Federal Government. The National Privacy Research Strategy calls for research along a continuum of challenges, from how people understand privacy in different situations and how their privacy needs can be formally specified, to how these needs can be addressed, to how to mitigate and remediate the effects when privacy expectations are violated.

The Survey of Federal Employees is the Office of Personnel Management's first major survey of the work force since 1983. The questionnaire was designed to provide policy-makers with information that was not available from existing sources. Questions covered various personnel areas such as employee characteristics, employees' satisfaction with their jobs, supervisors, and organizations, performance management, training, work schedule arrangements, leave benefits, and dependent care responsibilities and the ways employees fulfill these responsibilities.

Data is collected because of public interest in how the City’s budget is being spent on salary and overtime pay for all municipal employees. Data is input into the City's Personnel Management System (“PMS”) by the respective user Agencies. Each record represents the following statistics for every city employee: Agency, Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial, Agency Start Date, Work Location Borough, Job Title Description, Leave Status as of the close of the FY (June 30th), Base Salary, Pay Basis, Regular Hours Paid, Regular Gross Paid, Overtime Hours worked, Total Overtime Paid, and Total Other Compensation (i.e. lump sum and/or retro payments). This data can be used to analyze how the City's financial resources are allocated and how much of the City's budget is being devoted to overtime. The reader of this data should be aware that increments of salary increases received over the course of any one fiscal year will not be reflected. All that is captured, is the employee's final base and gross salary at the end of the fiscal year. In very limited cases, a check replacement and subsequent refund may reflect both the original check as well as the re-issued check in employee pay totals.

NOTE 1: To further improve the visibility into the number of employee OT hours worked, beginning with the FY 2023 report, an updated methodology will be used which will eliminate redundant reporting of OT hours in some specific instances. In the previous calculation, hours associated with both overtime pay as well as an accompanying overtime “companion code” pay were included in the employee total even though they represented pay for the same period of time. With the updated methodology, the dollars shown on the Open Data site will continue to be inclusive of both types of overtime, but the OT hours will now reflect a singular block of time, which will result in a more representative total of employee OT hours worked. The updated methodology will primarily impact the OT hours associated with City employees in uniformed civil service titles. The updated methodology will be applied to the Open Data posting for Fiscal Year 2023 and cannot be applied to prior postings and, as a result, the reader of this data should not compare OT hours prior to the 2023 report against OT hours published starting Fiscal Year 2023. The reader of this data may continue to compare OT dollars across all published Fiscal Years on Open Data.
NOTE 2: As a part of FISA-OPA’s routine process for reviewing and releasing Citywide Payroll Data, data for some agencies (specifically NYC Police Department (NYPD) and the District Attorneys’ Offices (Manhattan, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Bronx, and Special Narcotics)) have been redacted since they are exempt from disclosure pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law, POL § 87(2)(f), on the ground that disclosure of the information could endanger the life and safety of the public servants listed thereon. They are further exempt from disclosure pursuant to POL § 87(2)(e)(iii), on the ground that any release of the information would identify confidential sources or disclose confidential information relating to a criminal investigation, and POL § 87(2)(e)(iv), on the ground that disclosure would reveal non-routine criminal investigative techniques or procedures. Some of these redactions will appear as XXX in the name columns.

Facebook received 73,390 user data requests from federal agencies and courts in the United States during the second half of 2023. The social network produced some user data in 88.84 percent of requests from U.S. federal authorities. The United States accounts for the largest share of Facebook user data requests worldwide.

The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. It is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations is updated daily. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations and its accompanying XML data is not yet an official format of the Code of Federal Regulations. Only the PDF and Text versions of the annual Code of Federal Regulations have legal status as parts of the official online format of the Code of Federal Regulations. The XML-structured files are derived from SGML-tagged data and printing codes, which may produce anomalies in display. In addition, the XML data does not yet include image files. Users who require a higher level of assurance may wish to consult the official version of the Code of Federal Regulations or the daily Federal Register on FDsys.gov.

The State of California defines the requirements for various positions through Classifications. Examples of Classifications are Office Technician, Staff Services Analyst, Information Technology Specialist I and about 3,000 others. The Federal Government classifies various occupations using ONET groupings. The data set contained here shows how the State of California maps its Classes to the ONET codes. The purpose of this mapping is to standardize reporting when needing to compare State positions to non-State positions.

The Employee Engagement Index (EEI) assesses the critical conditions conducive for employee engagement (e.g., effective leadership, work which provides meaning to employees). The index is comprised of three subfactors: Leaders Lead, Supervisors, and Intrinsic Work Experience.

Monthly management information on staff numbers and paybill costs in Civil Service departments, their agencies and their executive NDPBs. For workforce numbers, both payroll and non-payroll (contingent labour, including consultants) information is provided, split between full-time equivalents (FTE) and headcount, with payroll staff numbers mapped to standard Civil Service grades. For costs, payroll paybill information is broken down into its component parts i.e. salaries, allowances, employers pensions contributions etc. For non-payroll costs, these are split between costs for consultancy and those of other non-payroll workers. Staffing numbers are as at the last day of the month for the reference month. Cost information is that for the reference month. For baseline 2010/11 returns, staffing numbers are as at 31 March 2011, and paybill costs are for the financial year 2010/11. You can also view the data files on the DCLG website here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/workforce-management NOTE These figures are not official statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency. These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any national statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and national statistics, clarifying comments will be provided. The Office for National Statistics’ quarterly public sector employment statistics provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point. Some organisations may not have information available for each month, and at this stage coverage may therefore not reach 100% for those organisations in scope. Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations.
