EMSI Data
Overwhelmed by information?
Data overload is becoming an ever-larger challenge in today's information driven economy. Researchers, planners, and policy makers are expected to rely on dozens of data sources which vary widely in detail, completeness, and geographic scope. That's why EMSI offers a single integrated data source specifically designed to meet the needs of higher education, workforce development, economic development, government and the private industry.
The Latest and Most Complete Dataset Available
Finding regional data for research and strategic planning is a significant challenge. EMSI processes dozens of state and federal databases twice per year to provide complete, detailed data on industries, occupations, demographics, and more at the county and ZIP code level.
EMSI's sophisticated methods supply missing data points, create projections, and increase the geographic detail of standard government sources.
EMSI Data is a compilation and harmonization of more than 80 government and private-sector sources. Updated every six months and based on the most recent data available, the dataset covers the entire US population and economy, down to each individual ZIP code.
Why EMSI Data?
Typical labor market data ignores much of the economy. On average, about 35% of all county level data is suppressed to hide firm-specific numbers. These datasets also generally exclude proprietors, understating the total number of workers by an average of 17%. In contrast, EMSI data removes suppressions and includes proprietors, creating a more complete picture of the regional workforce.
