This guide provides users with a quick overview for launching the Worker Paid Leave Usage Simulation (Worker PLUS) model. The Worker PLUS User Manual provides two options for launching the model (options 1 and 2) and two options for downloading the American Community Survey (ACS) input files to run model simulations (options A and B). This guide focuses on option 1 for quickly launching the model’s graphical user interface (GUI) in Python and option A for downloading the ACS input files. Users following this quick-start guide do not need to have Python installed to launch the GUI.
