About this dataset

Welcome to the Opportunity Insights Economic Tracker! Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, real-time look into how COVID-19 and stabilization policies are affecting the US economy. To do this, we have compiled a wide array of data points on spending and employment, gathered from several sources.

This dataset includes daily/weekly/monthly information at the state/county/city level for eight types of data: Google Mobility; Low-Income Employment and Earnings; UI Claims; Womply Merchants and Revenue; as well as weekly Math Learning from Zearn. Additionally, three files- Accounting for Geoids-State/County/City provide crosswalks between geographic areas that can be merged with other files having shared geographical levels.

Our goal here is to enable data users around the world to follow economic conditions in the US during this tumultuous period with maximum clarity and precision. We make all our datasets freely available so if you use them we kindly ask you attribute our work by linking or citing both our accompanying paper as well as this Economic Tracker at https://tracktherecoveryorg By doing so you are also agreeing to uphold our privacy & integrity standards which commit us both to individual & business confidentiality without compromising on independent nonpartisan research & policy analysis!

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides US COVID-19 case and death data, as well as Google Community Mobility Reports, on the state/county level. Here is how to use this dataset:

• Understand the file structure: This dataset consists of three main files: 1) US Cases & Deaths by State/County, 2) Google Community Mobility Reports, and 3) Data from third-parties providing small business openings & revenue information and unemployment insurance claim data (Low Inc Earnings & Employment, UI Claims and Womply Merchants & Revenue).
• Select your Subset: If you are interested in particular types of data (e.g., mobility or employment), select the corresponding files from within each section based on your geographic area of interest – national, state or county level – as indicated in each filename.
• Review metadata variables: Become familiar with the provided variables so that you can select which ones you need to explore further in your analysis. For example, if analyzing mobility trends at a city level look for columns such as ‘Retailer_and_recreation_percent_change’ or ‘Transit Stations Percent Change’; if focusing on employment decline look for columns such pay or emp figures that align with industries of interest to you such as low-income earners (emp_{inclow},pay_{inclow}).
• Unify dateformatting across row values : Convert date formats into one common unit so that all entries have consistent formatting if necessary; for exampe some entries may display dates using YYYY/MM/DD notation while others may use MM//DD//YY format depending on their source datasets; make sure to review column labels carefully before converting units where needed..

• Merge datasets where applicable : Utilize GeoID crosswalks to combine multiple sets with same geographical coverageregionally covering ; example might be combining low income earnings figures with specific county settings by reference geo codes found in related documents like GeoIDs-County .
  6 . Visualise Data : Now that all the different measures have been reviewed can begin generating charts visualize findings . This process may include cleaning up raw figures normalizing across currency formats , mapping geospatial locations others ; once ready create bar graphs line charts maps other visual according aggregate output desired Insightful representations at this stage will help inform concrete policy decisions during outbreak recovery period..
