However, access to such data is typically highly restricted and the quality of data varies substantially across countries. This paper presents GRAPH-EE, a large-scale employer-employee platform for larger companies in the UK. Leveraging a vast knowledge graph of the global public internet linked to UK company microdata and global patents data, GRAPH-EE is a rich complement to administrative data sources. This version of the platform covers over 10,500 companies and 800,000 workers active in the UK during 2007-2023. We show the potential to extend our approach to multiple other countries. A public release version of the data, plus codebase and documentation, is available to researchers and detailed in this paper.}, keywords={data science;employer-employee data;productivity;innovation;skills}, }
