This workshop is geared towards intermediate/advanced data.census.gov users who want to learn how to access economic datasets on data.census.gov and the Census Data API. You'll learn how to find data on topics such as number of establishments and firms, number of employees, annual payroll, employment data, and more.

 The course will begin with a focus on finding economic data on data.census.gov through datasets like County Business Patterns, the Annual Business Survey, and the 2022 Economic Census. Then, you will move on to accessing data through the Census Data API to learn how to obtain economic data not available through data.census.gov, such as earlier 2002 and 2007 Economic Census data, and employment data from the Quarterly Workforce Indicators.

This class is recommended for those who have completed the Basics of Finding Data Using data.census.gov Workshop, or those familiar with data.census.gov. Knowledge of the API is not required as we will cover some basics of using the API in this workshop. Time is allotted throughout the training for questions, and participation is strongly encouraged. Using two monitors is recommended for this class, if available.
