ACS UI data is great, (about a year old), but Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAU) is only 2 months behind (with no details)

I appreciated that UI data is in Census data so you can break out by race, age etc. Not apples to apples. However, does it even make any sense to include the most recent top-level data, in my case county? So if I'm listing county ACS data and have UI (total for county for 2021).  A note or reference that it's currently x.x% (Sept 22 via LAU). Does anyone do this? Perhaps say it trending up2.3 or down 2.3 vs 2021 per LAU?

  • Id use the LAUS or the ACS; not both.  Invites confusion as to which is the "right" or "real" estimate.  Id have reservation that any single, monthly CPS-based LAUS figure at county level is really any more telling than ACS--for all intents and purposes
