Data Sources and Calculations
Industry Data
In order to capture a complete picture of industry employment, EMSI basically combines covered employment data from Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW) produced by the Department of Labor with total employment data in Regional Economic Information System (REIS)
published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), augmented with County Business Patterns (CBP) and Nonemployer Statistics (NES) published
by the U.S. Census Bureau. Projections are based on the latest available EMSI industry data, 15-year past local trends in each industry, growth rates
in statewide and (where available) sub-state area industry projections published by individual state agencies, and (in part) growth rates in national
projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
