For a research project I'm very interested in economic data such as unemployment rate on a monthly basis for individual counties in the US. Is this available somewhere?
I know that the information I'm requesting is quite detailed. Perhaps someone has made a model that makes reliable predictions on a monthly basis? I'd be very interested in that as well!
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS). These provide unemployment rates at various geographic levels: in states, metropolitean areas but also in counties. The summary can be found here.
You might have to apply for the data, though.
