Alaska Local and Regional Information (ALARI) data on Alaska's workforce: characteristics, tax revenue, and industries

These three datasets are a consolidated version of the many found on http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/alari/. Data were initially collected by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Research and Analysis Section and stored on the Alaska Local and Regional Information (ALARI) site. In this archived version, a web scrape was performed from the ALARI site with the help of R's 'rvest' package. The .html code on the ALARI site was inspected and certain codes were targeted to generate correct web URLs for each location's data on worker characteristics, tax revenue, and industries. The data were then copied from the contents of these URLs and stored into three separate datasets; one each for worker characteristics, tax revenue, and industries. The purpose of this project is to compile all separate records for each unique documented location within Alaska into one dataset. Three records for Alaskan locations were of interest: tax revenue, industry information, and worker characteristics. In all, the three datasets are intended for inference into the nature of the Alaskan labor force from 2001 to 2016.
