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.

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.

Please Note: This dataset is part of the historical CISER Data Archive Collection and is also available at ICPSR -- https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09983.v2. We highly recommend using the ICPSR version as they made this dataset available in multiple data formats.

Pursuant to Executive Order 13583 and to the Government-wide Strategic Plan, which was published on November 17, 2011, the OPM Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) developed a Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Dashboard for agency use in workforce planning and reporting, with information culled from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) and the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) data sets. The D&I Dashboard is a government specific tool created to provide agencies with demographic data about hiring, group attrition, employee inclusion perceptions, and overall accountability in regard to D&I efforts. One of the goals of the D&I Dashboard is to provide data that is formatted in such a way that anyone can view it, explore it and readily understand it. We provide summary data that cannot be connected to individuals.

Employment by Industry reports several labor statistics related to employment and wage. Domain Frequency Annual Full Description Employment by Industry reports the total Number of Employers, the Annual Average Employment, and the Annual Average Wage by industry at the town, county, and state level. Industries included in this dataset vary from location to location. In as many locations as possible, five specific industry segments are consistently present (Construction, Manufacturing, Retail Trade, All Industries, Total Government) as well as the largest 3 out of the remaining segments for that location, ranked by Annual Average Employment. Not every location has data for every segment, and some may not have data for the five consistently reported segments. This data is from the Connecticut Department of Labor Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The program produces a comprehensive tabulation of employment and wage information for workers covered by Connecticut Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws and Federal workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program.

Federal Funding Gaps in the US

Overview of US Federal Funding Gaps (1976-2018)

By Throwback Thursday [source]

About this dataset

The dataset includes columns such as Start Date, End Date, Total days, Employees furloughed, Number of Employees Furloughed, Senate Control, Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans ,Senate Independents ,House Control ,House Democrats ,House Republicans and House Independents.

Start Date indicates the date when each federal funding gap began. On the other hand End date shows when these funding gaps came to an end. By examining this information for each gap individually along with calculations from other columns like Total days one can gain insights into how long each funding gap lasted.

Numerical values such as number of employees affected by furloughs are provided within columns like Employees furloughed and Number of Employees Furloughed. The latter column represents a total count for all affected employees throughout a particular funding gap period.

This dataset delves even deeper into political dynamics by revealing which political party was in control during each federal funding gap period through columns like Senate Control and House Control. Specifically defining whether Democrats or Republicans were leading is very crucial to understand any potential ramifications associated with those particular party affiliations being at power during a given time period.

Moreover,the numerical data found under columns named Senate Democrats,Senate Republicans,Senate Independents indicate how many members from respective parties were active participants within United States Senate for each individual government fund shutdown event.As we continue through other sections more details about representation will be present .

Similarly,namesake parties committed to House representatives then find representation factors being unearthed and can be seen through President's Government House Control metric here . Columns like House Democrats, House Republicans and House Independents serve as additional measures to provide a census of who controlled the power dynamic during these respective campaign titanic struggles.Thus , for each federal funding gap period one can ascertain which political party held sway over the decisions made within America's lower parliamentary body.

In total,this comprehensive dataset offers profound insights into how the United States government experienced financial funding gaps throughout several decades of its history. The information provided in this dataset is crucial for anyone looking to study, analyze, or understand the dynamics, duration, impacts, and control factors associated

The Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership is a voluntary federal-state enterprise created for the purpose of merging employee, and employer data to provide a set of enhanced labor market statistics known collectively as Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). The QWI are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows. For the purposes of this dataset, LED data for 2018 is aggregated to Census Summary Level 070 (State + County + County Subdivision + Place/Remainder), and joined with the Emergency Solutions Grantee (ESG) areas spatial dataset for FY2018. The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), formally the Emergency Shelter Grants, program is designed to identify sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons, as well as those at risk of homelessness, and provide the services necessary to help those persons quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness. The ESG is a non-competitive formula grant awarded to recipients which are state governments, large cities, urban counties, and U.S. territories. Recipients make these funds available to eligible sub-recipients, which can be either local government agencies or private nonprofit organizations. The recipient agencies and organizations, which actually run the homeless assistance projects, apply for ESG funds to the governmental grantee, and not directly to HUD. Please note that this version of the data does not include Community Planning and Development (CPD) entitlement grantees. LED data for CPD entitlement areas can be obtained from the LED for CDBG Grantee Areas feature service.
