Description: The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation
publishes the monthly Local Area Unemployment Statistics estimating labor force, employment
and unemployment for Florida, its 67 counties and many
cities. The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates
United States labor force statistics and keeps historical data for the US and the Local
Area Unemployment Statistics program for all states. Labor force statistics
count individuals not jobs. An individual may be employed, unemployed or not in the labor
force at all. A person with more than one job is only counted once. Other data series
measure jobs not individuals; therefore, in those data series an individual
with more than one job is, in effect, counted more than once. Monthly changes in local
labor force statistics such as the unemployment rate are often subject to substantial
seasonality. To avoid making erroneous conclusions regarding a local economy
it is best to compare same month year-to-year or concentrate on annual data as will be done in this
indicator section. |

Description:The Bureau of Economic Analysis, part of the United States Department of Commerce, publishes the Regional Economic Information System (REIS) annually. REIS data are accessible on the above web site. REIS concentrates on broad income and employment data. REIS measures jobs more broadly than most other sources such as BLS' Quarterly Census of Employment and Wage program (QCEW) or its metropolitan area only Current Employment Statistics (nonagricultural employment). REIS Provides the most readily accessible long-term database of county level employment. REIS jobs data include agricultural and nonagricultural jobs; public as well as private employment; self-employment as well as wage and salary employment; and workers not covered by unemployment insurance as well as those covered. QCEW employment data do not include the self-employed. Along with the strength of broad and consistent measurement of employment and income, REIS has the shortcoming of only annual updates that are about 2 years behind other, narrower measures of jobs and income.

Description: From the BLS website: Each month the Current Employment Statistics program surveys about 140,000 businesses and
government agencies, representing approximately 410,000 individual worksites, in order to provide detailed industry data on employment,
hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and about
400 metropolitan areas and divisions.” CES data are revised monthly and annually. The frequency and timeliness of the data are strong
assets of these data. CES data are, however, available only by metropolitan area, not counties. Data for the Tampa-St. Petersburg
Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. |
