This data was abstracted from the US Census Bureau's Data Exploreres Web Site. It contains socioeconomic data by year and state for the years 2019 to 2010. I found the book by F. Donnelly, Exploring the U.S. census: your guide to America’s data, Los Angeles: SAGE, 2020, to be very helpful in undestanding how to navigate the US Census data and search web site.
There is quite a bit of data in the census extracts and I paired it down to relevant columns for employment status, occupation, industry employed in, and percentage of familes below the poverty line. The columns contain persons counted by separate categories where the text in the columns describe the catagory names.
Attributes are
- Year is a categorical attribute and the year for the row
- id is the census geoid for the state and is categorical
- the rest of the attributes are quantitative. The columns quantify the population count of the state that for the columns category. The main areas are EMPLOYMENT STATUS, OCCUPATION, and INDUSTRY and the column header contains the corresponding text. The suffix text describes the category the count is for. The two columns at the end are the percentage of families below the poverty line.
