Trade Data Access Made Simple

Ever wish there was one page where you can find a whole host of easily digestible Trade data? Well good news, the Trade Data Access Made Simple blog is here! Take these four simple steps to get to program basics, statistics, petition status, program funding, and state TAA practices.

Step 1: Check Out Our Program Basics 

TAA provides a huge amount of information on our website about the program, our data, and a lot of specific information for workforce practitioners! Explore our major program statistics (FY 2010 – FY 2022) on our data landing page: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/tradeact/data.

Step 2: Dive Into the TAA Petition Data Trove! 

TAA’s data on what worker groups are affected by foreign trade is our most in demand dataset at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/tradeact/data/petitions-determinations. Want to get a better idea how the labor force is affected by trade? Explore the data on your own with our dashboard!

Step 3: Find Out About TAA Funding 

Check out this data through our easy-to-use dashboard:  https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/tradeact/data/financial-data
 
What’s next? We are currently exploring releasing more data on when states request more funds and how those funds are expended. Check back in a few months! Plus, did you know that TAA Case Management Funds can be used for IT System Upgrades? Ask me more about how this works!

 Step 4: New! Access TAA State Practices On Your Own 

We are very excited to share that our data from our TAA Administrative Collection of States (TAAACS) has now been released! This is TAA’s unique collection to help data-driven decision making by providing discrete data on how states administer the TAA Program.  

Check out this data through our easy-to-use dashboard to learn about state practices in seven subject areas: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/tradeact/data/administration.
