The Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership is a voluntary federal-state enterprise created for the purpose of merging employee, and employer data to provide a set of enhanced labor market statistics known collectively as Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). The QWI are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows.
For the purposes of this dataset, LED data for 2018 is aggregated to Census Summary Level 070 (State + County + County Subdivision + Place/Remainder), and joined with the Unit of General Local Government (UGLG) spatial dataset for FY2019.
The term "Unit of General Local Government" refers to a city, county, town, parish, village, or other general-purpose political subdivision of a State. Units of General Local Government (UGLG) are comprised of several Census geographies including:
Summary Level 050 - State-County;
Summary Level 060 - County Subdivision;
Summary Level 070 - State-County-County Subdivision-Place/Remainder;
Summary Level 160 - Place;
Summary Level 170 - State-Consolidate City;
Remainders of County Lands
Please note that this version of the data does not include Community Planning and Development (CPD) entitlement grantees. LED data for CPD entitlement areas can be obtained from the LED for CDBG Grantee Areas feature service.
