From the U.S. Census Department - Local Employment Dynamics Tool

Databases: A Brief Overview of the Local Employment Dynamics Tool from the U.S. Census

The LED tools can help decision-makers understand current workforce conditions and plan economic development. These tools help employers find potential workers and show jobseekers where to locate up-and-coming industries. The program featured data from five states when it launched in 1999, and had expanded to 44 states by early 2007.

“You see where workers live, where they work and how they commute,” said Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon. “You can use these tools to spot, for example, where to relocate an office or see where you need more public transportation. The possibilities and uses are endless.”

The three LED online tools are: QWI (Quarterly Workforce Indicators) Online, Industry Focus and On the Map. QWI Online contains eight economic indicators: total employment, net job flow, job creation, number of new hires, separations, turnover and average monthly earnings for all workers and new hires.

Each indicator is a measure of a local economy that combines wage information with demographic data, such as age and sex. Together, they provide a complete picture of an area’s workforce, and changes can be tracked over time.
