Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Job-level Files
Add to My BasketDescription
The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) data at the U.S. Census Bureau is a quarterly database of linked employer-employee data covering over 95% of employment in the United States. The LEHD data are generated by merging previously collected survey and administrative data on jobs, businesses, and workers. Data are derived from various Federal sources as well as state data voluntarily provided through the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) partnership. The Job-level tables provide the earnings history of workers at state-level firms (SEINs) for jobs that are covered by unemployment insurance. The range of quarters available will vary by state.
