1. The .csv files starting with dont_delete will need to be deleted.

3. the SAS files will need to be updated regarding the dates.

Purpose

This script creates a mapping file from naics to three levels of aggregation, based on the "Beyond 20/20" custom tab from BC Stats (modified to breakdown health further). The 4 digit RTRA employment data is then merged with the mapping file, and then the RTRA data is aggregated to the three levels of aggregation. The aggregated data is written to an excel file with a sheet for each of the high level aggregates. An html dashboard is also created. Output found in directory out/current.
