This dataset has the following 6 columns:
| Column Name | API Column Name | Data Type | Description | Sample Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Date | date | calendar_date | Week ending date (Mondays), ranging from 1994 to the present. | 2017-09-18T00:00:00.000 2013-07-08T00:00:00.000 2022-12-19T00:00:00.000 2014-11-17T00:00:00.000 2012-07-23T00:00:00.000 view top 100 |
| Week | week | number | Week number calculated from the reported week ending date (Date field). Week 1 is the first week of the year with a week ending date falling on or after January 4. In other words, it is the first reported week of data which includes four days in the new year. Values range from 1 to 52 or 53, depending on the year. | 21 16 12 14 20 view top 100 |
| Month | month | number | Month number calculated from the reported week ending date (Date field). Week ending dates falling before the fourth day of the month are assigned to the previous month. For example, a week ending date falling on February 1st, 2nd, or 3rd would correspond to “1” (January), since there are less than four days in the reported week that fall in February. Values range from 1 through 12, where 1 refers to January, 2 to February, etc. | 3 5 12 7 1 view top 100 |
| Year | year | number | Year number calculated from the reported week ending date (Date field). Week ending dates falling on or after January 4 correspond to the calendar year of the reported week. Week ending dates falling on or before January 3 correspond to the previous calendar year. For example, a week ending date falling on January 2, 2018 would be “2017.” Values range from 1994 to the present. | 2021 2016 2014 2012 2015 view top 100 |
