Using US Census Data In Your Job Search

US Census publishes a set of statistics called "Local Employment Dynamics" which describe job creation, employment rates, "separations", new hires, wages of newly hired employees and differences in the above criteria between men and women at the county and state level. With data on all major industry sectors (down to the 4 digit SIC code level) this data can help you in your job search by showing the occupational turnover that occurs in all industries (some more than others).

These statistical databases will be demonstrated at the Monmouth County Library Career Information Center at 10am on Friday, August 21st. The Library is located at 1001 Rt 35 in Shrewsbury, NJ. The Local Area Employment Dynamics link is off the census homepage at www.census.gov The clicl on QWI (Quarterly Workforce Indicators) or Industry Focus.
