Which human resource & employment services datasets should journalists and academics cite first?

Ranking here is by citability: relevance to this persona first, then Datadory's 0-10 quality score. The full pool sits on the human-resource-employment-services data hub.

Where do journalists find data stories about layoffs and staffing?

Layoff reporting starts with primary filings rather than press releases. Set that against national flow: JOLTS separates hires from quits and layoffs and discharges monthly, so a state-level WARN spike can be read against whether separations nationally are rising or falling.

Which cited data sources for academic papers cover labour markets?

For occupation-level analysis, O*NET Database (downloadable) ships roughly 1,016 O*NET-SOC occupations of descriptors - including 297,676 Work Context rows, 161,559 Task Ratings and 92,976 Abilities rows - as CSV and Excel, native MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle dumps, and RDF.0 requiring credit to the O*NET Resource Center and the U.S. Department of Labor.

Straight answers

Where do journalists find data stories about layoffs?

Pair it with JOLTS layoffs and discharges series to place one state's filings against national monthly movement.

Which cited data sources for academic papers cover labor markets?

Cite the publishing agency plus release. QCEW, JOLTS and OEWS are U.S. federal commercial delivery terms asking only that BLS be identified with the release used; O*NET requires credit to the O*NET Resource Center and the U.S. Department of Labor under commercial delivery terms 4.0; World Bank Jobs Data carries commercial delivery terms 4.0 with ILO-sourced methodology; Destatis publishes under dl-de/by-2.0 and ONS People in Work under OGL v3.0.
