County jobs against housing units permitted, for an address

County jobs against housing units permitted, for an address. Perfect for: 'is this county permitting enough housing for its job growth', 'jobs to permits ratio for a county', 'how many housing units were permitted here last year'. Returns BLS QCEW employment change over Census BPS permitted units, the permits share of ACS housing stock, cited benchmarks, and the published critiques of the metric. Charge-free when no ratio is computable.
