LAUS - Peak Year of Employment by County

Yesterday, I posted this map of QCEW that shows the year of peak employment by county, going back to 1975. A different survey is the LAUS, which only goes back to 1990 and has a somewhat different result, in part because it only goes back 30 years versus 45 years.
  • Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)- Estimation based on a survey of households, CES, and Unemployment Insurance claims
  • Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) - Census of all employers liable for Unemployment Insurance (97-99% of total non-agricultural employment)
