As you are aware, there have been many changes to the federal websites in over the past month, and many data sources have been removed or restricted. While access to some of these sources has returned, we wanted to share some resources on where you can find archived public data online archived public data.

Data Rescue Project Tracker – A volunteer group being led by several organizations, The Data Rescue Project is coordinating efforts to archive federal datasets and is tracking alternative download locations wherever available.

Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab – Hosts an archive of data.gov, with archives of each entry on the site. While this does not include full datasets for all sources, it is regularly updated and has both an API and open-source code so you can replicate their work.

Mike Sylvester with the Utah Department of Workforce Services will be retiring at the end of month, after nearly four decades of dedicated service to his state and the entire LMI ecosystem.

Maryland

Maryland’s long term occupational projections dashboard is very easy to sort through. The initial page has all two-digit SOC code occupational groups sorted by projected percentage growth, with total projected annual openings also displayed. The second page of this dashboard shows the top 10 growing six-digit occupations, along with their degree requirements. The final page offers the most options, allowing you to look through the data by SOC level, education value, annual percentage change, and search for specific titles. By putting the easily digestible information up front, this dashboard allows users to get a quick overview, while also letting more dedicated users explore more based on their interests.

You can also download the information as an Excel file if you want to look at the data personally.
