QCEW data in the BLS publication database makes use of datatype codes to support extract queries. The codes in the table below may be of interest to those who use the series report tool or the public API interface to access that database. In contrast, the QCEW online data files have multiple datatypes on each record, so the datatype is identified by the position within the record. However, some versions of those files contain a zero filled datatype field so that the record identifier closely matches the data identifier in the publication database. This may be helpful for users to correlate data from the publication database with corresponding data from the data files.
The table below is available as an Excel workbook (.xlsx), a comma separated values file (.csv), and as a flat, text file (.txt). Click the links below to download.
