APDU Webinars

Webinars are a major part of APDU's training and professional development programming. Starting in 2014, APDU began partnering with government statistical agencies to offer the Public Data University webinar series, a robust mix of introductory, intermediate, and advanced training sessions, covering a range of topics and expertise.

Intermediate Application of Data Sets: BLS Unemployment Data (201 Series)
July 15, 2020

Did you know that there are at least three sources of unemployment statistics in the United States? In this APDU webinar you'll learn about the three primary data sources — Current Population Survey (CPS), Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), and American Community Survey (ACS) — and how they differ. Then we'll explore how to access the official national and state unemployment statistics, based on CPS.

Presenter:
Garrett Schmitt, Senior Economist, Bureau of Labor Statistics
