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.本数据集包含3个整合版文件，其原始数据均取自http://live.laborstats.alaska.gov/alari/平台上的多份原始数据集。原始数据由阿拉斯加州劳工与劳动力发展部研究与分析科收集，并存储于阿拉斯加本地与区域信息（Alaska Local and Regional Information, ALARI）平台。在本归档版本中，研究团队借助R语言的'rvest'工具包对ALARI平台执行了网页抓取操作：先解析该平台的HTML源代码，定向提取特定代码以生成针对各地区劳动力特征、税收收入及行业相关数据的有效网页链接；随后从上述链接的页面内容中提取数据，并分别存储为3个独立数据集，分别对应劳动力特征、税收收入与行业信息。本项目的目标是将阿拉斯加州每个已记录的唯一地点的所有独立记录整合为统一数据集。本次关注的阿拉斯加地区三类数据分别为：税收收入、行业信息与劳动力特征。综上，这三个数据集旨在用于推断2001年至2016年阿拉斯加州劳动力的整体特征。
