Those estimates, based on data gathered from a sample of businesses across the country, are available to download and query by state, industry, and business size. They include most types of workers, regardless of whether they’re full-time or part-time, permanent or seasonal, salaried or hourly. | https://www.bls.gov/jlt/

It also publishes a series of tables, with varying structure, listing the people who received clemency from each president since Richard Nixon. Those tables additionally include recipients who did not submit formal requests and, for more recent presidents, details about the recipients’ offenses and sentences.

The core dataset, called Cantometrics, encodes “37 aspects of musical style for 5,776 traditional songs from 1,026 societies.” Others include, for example, datasets of song instruments and phrasing patterns.

The indicators include, for example, rates of home ownership, educational attainment, and domestic violence; they’re based primarily on data from the Demographic and Health Surveys Program, a USAID-funded initiative that, since 1984, “has provided technical assistance to more than 400 surveys in over 90 countries, advancing global understanding of health and population trends in developing countries.” Read more: An introductory Twitter thread from Belmin. | https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01824-2

1,591 | 2023.02.01 | 2 | Radiation-contaminated waste. | The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates the disposal of “low-level” radioactive waste — “items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation,” such as protective equipment and cleaning supplies. The NRC provides annual statistics (facility, volume, and total curies) for the country’s four active disposal sites. The Department of Energy’s Manifest Information Management System provides more detailed figures, with breakdowns by month, state of origin, waste classification, isotope, and more.
