Changes to monthly LFS 2017 data files

Notice
It has been brought to the attention of the DLI team that Labour Force Survey (LFS) data from January 2017 – July 2017 contained errors with numerical variables. Variables such as HRLYARN and UHRSMAIN were missing decimal place holders. As such, their values were off by a factor of 100. We have since fixed the issue and re-released the data on the DLI FTP site.

The updated files are named v2 and located here:
/MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-01-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/ micro2017-02-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-03-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-04-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-05-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-06-v2.zip /MAD_PUMF_FMGD_DAM/Root/3701_LFS_EPA/1976-2017/data/micro2017-07-v2.zip

These changes will be reflected in NESSTAR shortly. We will notify the list when this is complete.
