BLS Bulletin 2591 Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment, 2003 [online 6 November 2007] http://www.bls.gov/opub/gp/laugp.htm This page includes previous report from 1997-2002 as well. Annual data on the labor force, employment, and unemployment in States and substate areas are available from two major sources--the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program.

The LAUS program is a Federal-State cooperative endeavor in which State workforce agencies prepare estimates using concepts, definitions, and estimation procedures prescribed by BLS. This bulletin presents 2003 annual averages from the CPS for census regions and divisions, the 50 States and the District of Columbia, and 50 large metropolitan areas and 17 central cities.

Treasury Department INCOME MOBILITY IN THE U.S. FROM 1996 TO 2005 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY NOVEMBER 13, 2007 http://www.treasury.gov/press/releases/reports/incomemobilitystudyfinal.pdf [full-text, 22 pages] Includes numerous TABLES.... Press Release November 13, 2007 HP-673 Treasury Releases Income Mobility Study http://www.treasury.gov/press/releases/hp673.htm Washington DC--The Treasury Department today released a study on income mobility of U.S. taxpayers from 1996 through 2005. The study showed that, just as in the previous 10-year period, a majority of American taxpayers move from one income group to another over time. The study also recognizes that the dynamism of the U.S. economy significantly contributes to income mobility. The key findings of the study included: * Income mobility of individuals was considerable in the U.S. economy during the 1996 through 2005 period with roughly half of taxpayers who began in the bottom quintile moving up to a higher income group within 10 years. * About 55 percent of taxpayers moved to a different income quintile within 10 years. * Among those with the very highest incomes in 1996--the top 1/100 of one percent--only 25 percent remained in the group in 2005. Moreover, the median real income of these taxpayers declined over the study period. * The degree of mobility among income groups is unchanged from the prior decade (1987 through 1996). * Economic growth resulted in rising incomes for most taxpayers over the study period: * Median real incomes of all taxpayers increased by 24 percent after adjusting for inflation; * Real incomes of two-thirds of all taxpayers increased over this period; and * Median incomes of those initially in the lower income groups increased more than the median incomes of those initially in the high income groups. **************************************** Stuart Basefsky Director, IWS News Bureau Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell/ILR School 16 E. 34th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10016 Telephone: (607) 255-2703 Fax: (607) 255-9641 E-mail: smb6(a)cornell.edu **************************************** -- Eugene McElroy Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations Library 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 732-932-9513 tel: 732-932-9513 ********

[IWS] 2006 DISABILITY STATUS REPORT UNITED STATES [7 November 2007]]

Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Demographics and Statistics. 2006 Disability Status Report United States [7 November 2007] Ithaca, NY: Cornell University. http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/edi/disabilitystatistics/StatusReports/2006-PDF/… [full-text, 48 pages] For more information and data files, see -- www.disabilitystatistics.org or http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/edi/disabilitystatistics/ [excerpt] The Annual Disability Status Reports provide policy makers, disability advocates, reporters, and the public with a summary of the most recent demographic and economic statistics on the non-institutionalized population with disabilities. They contain information on the population size and disability prevalence for various demographic subpopulations, as well as statistics related to employment, earnings, and household income. Comparisons are made to people without disabilities and across disability types. Disability Status Reports and other statistics are available for each state, DC, and Puerto Rico at www.disabilitystatistics.org. The Status Reports primarily look at the working-age population because the employment gap between people with and without disabilities is a major focus of government programs and advocacy efforts. Furthermore, employment is a key factor in the social integration and economic self-sufficiency of working-age people with disabilities. In the future we will add health-related statistics. The estimates in the 2006 Disability Status Report are based on American Community Survey (ACS) dataa US Census Bureau survey designed to replace the decennial census long form. See the ACS User Guide on www.disabilitystatistics.org for additional information on the ACS.
