Dear all,
I have been looking for data on unemployment rate (or any basic economic indicators) by census tract or county during 2005-2009.
5-year ACS data appears to start from 2010, and no data between 2000 and 2009.
There is 3-year ACS data between 2005 and 2009, but it covers only large counties with more than 20,000 people, so it drops about 1/3 of counties.
I looked at IPUM NHGIS but it is not any better.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Kangoh
If you're really OK with county, have you looked at CPS, not ACS? I believe the CPS Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) supplement has employment status broken out by county.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your help, and I will check it.
Also, I found that USDA has data, County-level Data Sets | Economic Research Service
