The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. The ACS replaced the decennial census long form in 2010 and thereafter by collecting long form type information throughout the decade rather than only once every 10 years. Questionnaires are mailed to a sample of addresses to obtain information about households -- that is, about each person and the housing unit itself.

Displaced Workers: Provides data on workers who lost a job in the last 3 years due to plant closing, shift elimination, or other work-related reason. Job Tenure: Provides data that will measure an individual's tenure with his/her current employer and in his/her current occupation.
