CES relies on networks of supporters and partners within and outside the U.S. Census Bureau.
Our primary partners are listed below. All of our partners make vital contributions, and we
thank them.
Census Bureau business and household program areas. CES and the Research Data Centers
(RDCs) receive ongoing help from many areas of the Census Bureau that produce business and
household data. This help takes many forms, including:
• Microdata:
o Additions and expansions of data available to RDC researchers in 2010 and 2011 are
listed in Appendix 5.
o Census Bureau business and household datasets that are part of the Longitudinal
Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) data infrastructure.
• Expert knowledge of the collection and processing methodologies underlying the
microdata.
• Reviews of RDC research proposals, particularly for household data.
RDC partners. CES currently operates at 13 locations across the country in partnership with a
growing roster of prominent research universities and nonprofit research organizations. Our
RDC partners are recognized in Appendix 6.
LEHD partners. The LEHD program produces its public-use data products through its
Local Employment Dynamics partners. Partners as of December 2011 are acknowledged
in Appendix 7.
Other Census Bureau partners. Colleagues from both the Economic Directorate and the
Research and Methodology Directorate provide administrative support to CES. The CES also
benefits from colleagues in several other Census Bureau divisions who support our
computing infrastructures.
