The percent of people vaccinated is the number of individuals who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination relative to the population of Arizona. The percent of people fully vaccinated is the number of individuals who have received a valid, complete vaccine series relative to the population. Vaccine data are from the Arizona Department of Health Statistics and population is from the U.S. Census Bureau.
This is the total number of doses administered in the state to date. COVID-19 vaccination data are provisional and are subject to change.
Weekly Indicators
Note: The official initial claims for unemployment insurance numbers for the U.S. are released every Thursday morning covering the week ending on the previous Saturday.
These data show year-over-year seated diners at restaurants on the OpenTable network across all channels: online reservations, phone reservations, and walk-ins. For year-over-year comparisons by day, we compare the week ending Saturday to the same week in the previous year. this dataset is based on a sample of approximately 20,000 restaurants that provide OpenTable with information on all of their inventory.
The U.S. Census Bureau continues to produce weekly estimates; however, the weekly estimate files are published as part of the
Monthly Business Formation Statistics (BFS) Release.One key dataset with these estimates is High-Propensity Business Applications, a subset of total weekly business applications in Arizona that measures the number of applications with a high-propensity of turning into a business with a payroll, based on various factors. These data reflect weekly applications for Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) in Arizona which are likely to result in employment and wages. These include applications: (a) from a corporate entity, (b) that indicate they are hiring employees, purchasing a business or changing organizational type, (c) that provide a first wages-paid date (planned wages); or (d) that have a NAICS industry code in manufacturing (31-33), retail stores (44), health care (62), or restaurants/food service (72). Applications for EINs occur before the jobs and wages are added, so this is a leading indicator.
