Many states are now using OnTheMap software. Come learn about the exciting new developments for Local Employment Dynamics, the state of the art program from the U.S. Census Bureau that merges supply and demand data to create economic and workforce intelligence.

OnTheMap V.2 is supported by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) at the U.s. Department of Labor. It has two major functions in accordance with the ETA agreement: (1) building the origin-destination data infrastructure for workers within and across states; and (2) developing a web-based mapping application showing where workers live and where people work within a state and cross-state, in the case of Illinois and Missouri.

This is an Internet application that uses a standard Internet browser. It permits users to zoon in for small area viewing (neighborhoods or small towns) or zoom out to view metropolitan areas or regional labor markets. The application includes a QuickStart User Guide with a glossary of terms, selection of geography by layers, including city, zip code, county, metropolitan statistical area, and workforce investment area, three types of reports, paired area mapping, and concentric ring analysis.

OnTheMap provides origin-destination flows for three years, 2002 and 2004, with the following workplace and residence characteristics by detailed geographic unit at the block group level.

1. Industries represented (at the 2-digit NAICS code level)

2. Proportion and number of workers by earnings range

3. Proportion and number of workers by age range.

4. Employment Quarterly Workforce Indicators, such as (a)  Job gain and loss, (b) Hires and separations; (c) Earnings of Hires, and (d) Earnings of separations

5. Number of Establishments
