FedScope Employment Trend Cubes

Description

This set of cubes provides trend data on the employee population.  Please see note below, regarding suppression for all measure values when employment count is "less than 12".  Like our Employment cubes, the numbers reflect the actual number of employees at the end of a quarter but, for many agencies, may actually reflect employment at the end of the pay period just prior to the end of the quarter.  Two Employment Trend cubes are available:

  1. "Year-to-Year" (Five most recent end of fiscal year (September) files)
  2. "Quarter-to-Quarter" (Five most recent quarters)

The following dimensions (workforce characteristics) are available for analysis in these cubes:

  1. Who (about the employees)
    • Age (5 year interval)
    • Disability Status
    • Education Level
    • Gender
    • Length of Service (5 year interval)
    • Veterans

  2. What (about their positions)
    • Bargaining Unit Status (BUS)
    • General Schedule and Equivalent Grade
    • Occupation
    • Occupation Category
    • SES/SL/ST Pay Plans
    • Pay Plan and Grade
    • Salary Level ($10,000 interval)
    • STEM & Health Occupations
    • Supervisory Status
    • Telework Eligibility Indicator
    • Type of Appointment
    • Work Schedule
    • Work Status

  3. Where
    • Agency
    • CFO/CIO ACT Agencies
    • DoD Agencies
    • Location (U.S. State, U.S. Territories, and Foreign Countries)
      • U.S. County excluded starting in March 2004
    • Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
      • MSA excluded starting in March 2004
  4. When
    • Most Current Quarter
      • Latest five September quarters ("Year-to-Year" cube)
      • Latest five quarters ("Quarter-to-Quarter" cube)

The following three measures (statistics) are available in these cubes:

  1. Employment counts (default measure)
  2. Average Salary
  3. Average Length of Service

Please note:  Both measure values for this cube are suppressed for all tables/crosstabs depicting small cells (i.e. employment count is less than 12).  Both measure values will appear as "NA" across all available dimensions when employment counts are "less than 12".

Please read our

By default, the first two dimensions (Agency and Most Current Quarter) are displayed as your rows and columns within your data display (crosstab).  You can easily customize your own view for each Employment Trend data cube.
