The attached profile uses data from the first two phases of the American Community Survey to describe the skills and abilities of the working-age population of Rockland County, NY in 1999 and to depict changes and trends in worker characteristics since 1996. This profile is a prototype for an automated on-line report and, as such, is simply one example of the kind of reports that could be made available in this fashion. Once the American Community Survey is fully implemented, data users will be able to generate similar profiles for all states, counties, and large metro areas on an annual basis.
