At the APDU conference yesterday, Scott Boggess came up to tell me about this new table, saying that he wanted them to call it "PB01," but they wouldn't do it. I have certainly been a loud and persistent voice protesting the difficulty of using B23001. and I'm really glad that they've fixed the problem! Scott is the main ACS products staffer in the SEHSD at the bureau.

The 2011 ACS (1-year) file will be released next week. Below is some information on the table changes. For the transportation folks, one new table is Worker Population For Workplace Geography. Also, those of us who have had trouble calculating an unemployment rate from the very detailed table, B23001, will be very excited to see a new table, B23025. This table contains only the basic information needed to calculate the unemployment rate, without any gender or age detail to wade through.
Remember this file will have data for geographies (state, county, place, MCD) of 65,000+ population.
