In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the S.C. Employment Security Commission is now participating in the national Local Employment Dynamics (LED) program. As a result of this partnership, SCESC has much more local and detailed information about the state’s workforce.

Each quarter, SC employer and worker data will be linked by the Census Bureau to other administrative records to produce unique indicators of employment, workforce composition, worker flows and earnings. These indicators can be broken out by time, area, gender, age group, and industry.

To access the Quarterly Workforce Indicators, click here.

The core product of LED is Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWIs). The QWIs are:

• Total employment
• Net job flows
• Job creation
• New hires
• Separations
• Turnover
• Average monthly earnings
• Average new hire earnings

For specific information about each indicator, click on		beside the
indicator name in the QWI site.

Employers can use the QWI data to answer common questions
such as:

• Where are the workers in my industry and county?
• How much are workers like mine paid?
• How does the turnover for other firms in my industry compare to the turnover in my workplace?

Workers can use the data to find out:

• Where are the jobs?
• How much can I expect to be paid in different industries?
• How long can I expect jobs to last?
