Questions regarding 2008 data
Doug,
I have 2 questions regarding the data:
1. Comparing with County Business Patterns, your data sets are very different on employment and compensation. Would you please explain to me what makes the difference?
2. Why animal food, flour milling & malting and oilseed processing are excluded from manufacturing section in three digit naics codes.
Please send your reply to my e-mail address mike_jin@comcast.net
Thank you!

1) Regarding the definitional differences see this forum post: https://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=11&func=view&catid=80&id=71 Regarding differences between CBP and BLS covered employment and wages data see this post: https://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kb&task=article&article=90 Note, that we use BLS as "ground truth" as there seems to be more consistent coverage and the data is more current. 2)Those three sectors are included in 311 in my 2008 data. You can edit the scheme to pop those back in the software and resave the scheme into the library.0
