Description

This dataset summarizes annual employment and wage data collected by the Massachusetts Department of Economic Research (DER) from employers subject to federal and state unemployment compensation laws. This dataset covers the workforce in Cambridge, regardless of their place of residence. Note that the unemployment compensation system does not cover all workers and excludes groups such as the self-employed, religious workers and some domestic workers.
This dataset assigns workers to high-level industries using the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) super-sectors which are derived from North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) sectors.

This data provides information about the Cambridge workforce only, i.e., persons who work in Cambridge regardless of where they live. It does not refer solely to Cambridge residents. Sometimes data for certain sectors, especially those with few firms or employees in the geography, is redacted to protect the privacy of those firms and their employees. Firms and employed persons not subject to the unemployment tax are not included in these statistics. The only employees currently excluded from coverage are those of religious organizations, smaller agricultural firms, certain domestic services, self-employment and unpaid family service. Railroad employees are covered by a separate law and their employment in Cambridge, if any, is not included above. All information that is presented here is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of publication. All information stated is subject to revision or retraction at any time.
