INTRODUCTION
IMPLAN has launched an improved option for comparing data across regions, industries, and even time! Data Library is an IMPLAN data product powered by Looker that allows users to produce data queries and reports.
The 2023 Data Year, which utilizes the 528 Industry Set, is not currently available in Data Library. The 528 Industry Set is specifically for the U.S. data in the 2023 Data Year at this time. All previous Data Years currently available in Data Library (2001-2022) will require the use of the 546 Industries Set until the release of the updated IMPLAN 528 Industry Set time series data (coming in 2025).
