Labor Shed Analysis

A labor shed analysis is defined as where workers work and where workers live relative to a user-

defined selection area. This analysis helps to determine where a labor market draws its

commuting workers. Labor shed studies can draw comparisons between various geographies

including state, Congressional District, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), county, Workforce

Investment Area (WIA), Zip Code, and Census tract. By indicating how many of the selection area

workers work outside the area, labor sheds can help identify potential pools of workers who

would be available for work in the user-defined area.

Labor shed studies provide economic developers and existing or prospective employers a tool to

understand the local labor market and make informed expansion and site selection decisions.

OnTheMap, Census Bureau

OnTheMap is a mapping and reporting tool developed by the U.S. Census Bureau showing

employment and home locations of workers with companion reports for user-defined areas. It

is the first synthetic data product released by the Census Bureau. OnTheMap is an important

tool for Florida to perform labor inflow/outflow analyses and provide commuting data to

planning and economic development agencies as well as Regional Workforce Boards. OnTheMap

data is also used by the Department of Economic Opportunity to help quantify natural disaster

impacts for emergency management agencies based on where workers live and where they work.

OnTheMap integrates existing data from state-supplied administrative records on workers and

employers with existing federal censuses, surveys, and other administrative records. The state

Labor Market Information (LMI) agencies supply key data from unemployment wage records and

from businesses each quarter. The Census Bureau merges the state-supplied data with current

demographic information to produce the data found in OnTheMap. By combining data from

different administrative sources, censuses, and surveys, the Census Bureau produces local

employment information that was not previously available.

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Bureau of Labor Market Statistics (LMS)

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s Bureau of Labor Market Statistics produces,

analyzes, and distributes labor statistics to improve economic decision making. These data are

produced as part of the federal/state cooperative statistical program with the U.S. Department

of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Employment and Training Administration.
