Type: not stated
Format: Two layers: tabular monthly index series (index level, month-over-month change, employment count, compensation per employee, hours worked, by geography and industry) delivered as press release and, in the current product, as web-published monthly index pages; beneath it, transactional payroll records per employee per pay period in the source platform
Volume: Extremely large at the micro layer: a payroll panel of even 100K-1M small employers each running semi-monthly or biweekly runs for sub-20 staff produces 10^7-10^8 pay records a year, each with hours, compensation and geography; the published index layer is tiny by comparison (a few hundred monthly series)
Users: Very large - Intuit's small-business book spans millions of paying businesses across QuickBooks and its payroll products (a $21.4B-revenue company whose core paid base is SMB accounting and payroll customers); the payroll-specific panel was already ~58,000 employers at the Index's launch and the payroll population is far larger now
History: 18 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and mature - the Index has been published continuously for well over a decade (this release reports September 2010 data; current monthly index pages for 2025 and 2026 exist on the same product line), so the series is a long-running, still-maintained publication rather than a discontinued one
Launched: Index launch ~2007-2008 with the underlying payroll panel predating it (this release describes a growth trend beginning October 2009 and comparisons back to January 2008, so the panel already held multi-year history by 2010; Intuit Online Payroll as a product launched in the mid-2000s)
