Replication data for: National estimates of gross employment and job flows from the Quarterly Workforce Indicators with demographic and industry detail

The Quarterly Workforce Indicators are local labor market data produced and released every quarter by the United States Census Bureau. Unlike any other local labor market series produced in the U.S. or the rest of the world, the QWI measure employment flows for workers (accession and separations), jobs (creations and destructions) and earnings for demographic subgroups (age and sex), economic industry (NAICS industry groups), and detailed geography (county, Core-Based Statistical Area, and Workforce Investment Area, as well as experimental, unreleased block-level estimates). John Abowd and Lars Vilhuber have used the existing public-use data (and only those public-use data) to construct the first national estimates. The national estimates are an important enhancement to existing series because they include demographic and industry detail for both worker and job flows compiled from data that have been integrated at the micro-level by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics P rogram at the Census Bureau. The research paper compares the new estimates to national data published by the BLS from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages and the Business Employment Dynamics series.

季度劳动力指标（Quarterly Workforce Indicators，QWI）是由美国人口普查局（United States Census Bureau）每季度编制并发布的本地劳动力市场数据。相较于美国乃至全球其他地区发布的各类本地劳动力市场序列数据，QWI可测算不同群体的劳动力流动（入职与离职）、岗位变动（岗位创造与岗位消亡）及收入情况，覆盖的细分维度包括人口子群体（年龄与性别）、经济行业（北美行业分类系统（NAICS）行业组别），以及精细地理单元（县、核心基于统计区域（Core-Based Statistical Area）、劳动力投资区，同时包含未公开发布的实验性街区级估算数据）。约翰·阿博德（John Abowd）与拉斯·维尔胡伯（Lars Vilhuber）仅依托现有公开可用数据，构建了首份全国层面的QWI估算数据集。该全国估算数据集是对现有序列的重要升级，其纳入了劳动力与岗位流动的人口及行业细分维度，相关数据由美国人口普查局纵向雇主-家庭动态项目（Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Program）在微观层面整合而成。本研究论文将这套全新估算数据集与美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS）发布的《季度就业与工资普查》（Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages）及《企业就业动态》（Business Employment Dynamics）序列的全国数据进行了对比分析。
