9:00am - 11:00am EST
This free two-hour webinar will introduce you to new time series data and tools created under the federal-state Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership that provides unprecedented detailed information about local jobs, workers, and economic conditions.
LED integrates data from state administrative records on workers and employers with existing Census Bureau censuses, surveys, and other administrative records, while protecting confidentiality of all respondents. The LED program includes three powerful tools—Quarterly Workforce Indicators, Industry Focus and OnTheMap.
The LED data will allow you understand your local economy and to stay ahead of economic trends. You will be able to answer questions like the following:
Where do my community’s workers live?
What are the dominate sectors in the local economy?
What type of industries are hiring?
Where is the demand for labor greatest?
LED data is free and accessible through interactive tools on the census.gov website. This webinar will teach you not only how to access timely local economic and workforce data, but also how to view and manipulate data in interactive tables and maps. At the end of the webinar, you will have a good introduction to the LED and a solid understanding of the data available for your community.
