Annual Economic Scorecard Shows Performance for Counties, Metros, and States

30 Jun 2024 Annual Economic Scorecard Shows Performance for Counties, Metros, and States

Headlight Data today released its updated Annual Economic Scorecard, which shows performance by year for counties, metros, and states. Trend data shows performance over the last ten years.

Headlight analyzes data from the BLS’ Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). This dataset lags the monthly “Current Employment Series (CES)” survey, but the CEW data is based on actual employment filings from businesses.  And, CEW provides data at the county-level (CES does not).

To see your performance, select your community and the latest year that has data. Reports can be printed to PDF by clicking “Download” in the bottom-right corner.
