Implan Total Labor vs BLS Labor Statistics

Hi John, Great question. We used County Business Patterns for Industry wage and salary Employment, Ag Census for farm wage and salary and Proprietors(number of farms) for non-subsistence farms and DOD information for military Employment which are specific to Guam. Government Employment data comes from BLS QCEW ratios from Virgin Islands used as a proxy. We have seen the higher occupational counts for Guam on the BLS website but not data which shows Employment by industry so that we have a way to bridge it to the Sectoring scheme. If you have access to that data and could send us a link or some information about where we might be able to find it would appreciate it. We are always striving to improve our data and data creation processes. Thanks!

Hi John, Thank you very much. We also found the [url=http://www.dol.guam.gov/index.php]Guam DOL website [/url]after we talked to you- note that this site seems to be down more often than up. We appreciate the contact info and your time.
