Monitoring the Impact of Coronavirus Across the U.S.
In an effort to aid in understanding the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic, Opportunity Insights, an institute of social scientists and policy analysts based at Harvard University, has released a dataset of employment rates, consumer spending, job postings, and other key economic indicators.
The dataset, which was made available on June 17, 2020, combines anonymized data from private organizations such as credit card processors, payroll firms, job listing websites, and other commercial data providers. It provides a comprehensive view of the economic impact of the pandemic in the United States.
According to the dataset, as of June 17, consumer spending had declined by 8.5 percent compared to January 2020. The data also includes mobility data, unemployment insurance claims data, and job postings data.
The dataset is intended to help researchers track the impact of coronavirus on the United States. By providing a detailed and up-to-date picture of the economic landscape, the dataset aims to support evidence-based policy-making and inform decision-making processes.
The data in the dataset is anonymous and comes from both private organizations and government sources. This means that the dataset offers a comprehensive and unbiased view of the economic effects of the pandemic.
Opportunity Insights hopes that the release of this dataset will contribute to a better understanding of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, and help policymakers and researchers make informed decisions that will support economic recovery.
