Implan Data sources: <br /> IMPLAN employment includes both wage and salary employees and self-employed persons in a <br /> region. Both full-time and part-time workers are measured to create an estimate of annual average jobs. <br /> BLS Covered Employment and Wages (CEW) data, BEA Regional Economic Accounts (REA) data, <br /> and County Business Patterns (CBP) data are used in conjunction to create IMPLAN data because no <br /> one dataset provides enough information to create a complete IMPLAN database. In general, CEW data <br /> provide the county-level industry structure for IMPLAN, while CBP data are used to make non-disclosure <br /> adjustments to CEW data and REA data are used as control totals. <br /> The CEW dataset is one of the most important datasets used in IMPLAN database development. These <br /> data provide the industry structure for the states and counties and the "ground truth" for IMPLAN <br /> data. There can be many differences between CBP and CEW but in the end, if wage and salary <br /> employment doesn't exist in CEW, it won't exist in IMPLAN data sets. The data are provided by the U.S. <br /> Department of Labor as part of the Unemployment Insurance Covered Employment and Wages Program. <br /> The CEW dataset provides annual average wage and salary establishment counts, employment counts, <br /> and payrolls by county at the 6-digit NAICS code level. These data are collected from a federal/state <br /> partnership program. State employment services departments, as part of the Unemployment Insurance <br /> Program, collect the data and pass it to the U.S. Department of Labor. As a result, only establishments <br /> that pay Unemployment Insurance are captured, hence the name "Covered Employment". Since these <br /> data only captures covered employees, the data set cannot capture self-employed persons, railway <br /> employment, religious organizations, military, elected officials or any other establishments that have their <br /> own social insurance program and/or do not pay into the Unemployment Insurance program. Since most <br /> farm employment is self employment, CEW data misses much of the farm data. Farm data is <br /> supplemented with REA data. <br /> UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ( EXTENSION <br /> ©2012 Regents of the University of Minnesota. All rights reserved. <br />
