Abstract
The Jobs and Employment Data Exchange (JEDx) is an initiative of the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation to enhance the administrative data systems of employers’ earnings and employment records to the mutual gain of business and government. Through this report, the JEDx Research Enhancement Project (JEDx-REP) provides perspectives on the potential benefits of enhanced earnings and employment records for social science research, official statistics, and evaluation. The JEDx-REP team conducted literature reviews, interviews, and advisor forums to prepare findings and recommendations regarding research, statistical, and evaluation use cases; priority data enhancements (such as occupation, hours worked, and primary work location); and models and options for data access systems to enable these applications while protecting privacy and confidentiality.
