For the demand side of the same analysis, the Census establishment and shipments records give the denominators: County Business Patterns runs annually from 1986 to 2023, the Economic Census benchmarks 2017 and 2022, and ASM covers 2013–2021 plus a 2022 benchmark with an AIES first release covering 2023.
