Every five years, the Economic Census provides a detailed portrait of the U.S. economy from the national level down to regional and local levels. In this webinar, Paul Zeisset will highlight key early findings, and provide detailed information regarding the 2007 Economic Census data products and release schedules. There will also be a discussion of what’s new for 2007, including new data tools, as well as comparability issues in assembling time series. Lastly, the webinar will provide participants with an overview of how the Economic Census relates to other business data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Building on an earlier webinar (Green Jobs: Definitions and Analysis, Nov. 17, 2009), we will focus on a key component of a green jobs study: the survey. Few states have engaged in a green jobs survey to date, but with recent funding from ETA many states are proposing to do so during the next 18 months. This webinar will feature staff members from two of the first states to engage in green jobs surveys: Washington and Oregon. How did they go about designing their respective surveys, and what would they do differently with what they know now? What methods were used to ensure a sufficient response rate? How do their surveys differ, and why? What resources would they point other LMI agencies to?
