The NEER Immigration, Trade, and Labor Markets Data Files were developed
from public data sources to facilitate industry-based and area-based research
on the effects of international trade and immigration on labor markets in the
United States. The industry data files contain shipments, a shipments
deflator, value added, employment, payroll, hours, real capital stock,
imports, exports, unionization, and immigrant ratios for 450 four-digit (1972
Standard Industrial Classification) manufacturing industries. The primary
source of the industry production and factor use data is the Annual Survey of
Manufactures. The primary source of the international trade data is the
defunct Bt,S Trade Monitoring System (1972 to 1981). which was extended to
earlier and later years using U.S. Commodity Exports and Imports as Related to
Output, U.S. Department of Commerce Official Statistics, and the Annual Survey
of Manufactures. The primary source of the unionization data is the Current
Population Survey (1973 to 1984), which cannot be extended to earlier years.
The primary source of the immigrant ratio data is the Census of Population
(1960, 1970, and 1980). The area data files contain information on immigrants
in the work force by state and major SMSA from the Census of Population 1970
and 1980. The data are available fro. the author on floppy disk (Stata or
ASCII format), computer tape (SAS format) or by electronic mail.
