Flow-By-Sector Datasets

Some Flow-By-Sector datasets are published on data.gov and can be accessed and cited as listed below. Datasets might have multiple releases, as the data.gov entries are updated with new FLOWSA releases. The versioning of the dataset releases do not correspond to the FLOWSA version, rather the dataset versions indicate that the values in the FBS have changed. The version of FLOWSA used to generate an FBS is identified in the data.gov entry.
