Abstract

Since 2008, the job-center personnel structure panel gathers aggregate data on the personnel of job centers on a quarterly basis. For example, the panel contains the female share of caseworkers working full-time in a determined job center. Data is provided by the Federal Employment Agency (BA); therefore, the panel only includes data from job centers run by this agency and municipalities jointly and not from job centers run by municipalities alone. Thus far, the job-center personnel structure panel contains data until the end of 2016. An update is planned.
