LED Worker Origins & DestinationsA Prototype online GIS-based Application by Excensus LLC |

The geographic relationships between where people live and where they work are critical to local and regional transportation planning, economic development, the deployment of a need-based employment services, and the design of a wide range of family and community service programs. Up until now, no agency or organization has been able to reliably piece together information about worker origins and destinations, and deliver it in an updatable database suitable for both regional planning and close-in, neighborhood-level analysis In 2003, working with its State Labor Market Information Office (LMI) Partners, LEHD (a division of the US Census Bureau) succeeded in developing a highly detailed, labor workflow database. The Worker Origins & Destinations (O/D) data file summarized these home-to-work commuting patterns at a census block level while also providing a breakout of workers and employment by wages earned and industries served. This website contains a prototype application, developed by Excensus LLC, to demonstrate the online mapping and reporting potential of the LED O/D data. |
