OnTheMap version 2.3 Released

The Census Bureau released OnTheMap version 2.3 with 42 states now appearing in the web-based mapping and reporting tool. This completes the phased release of OnTheMap version 2 that started on April 15, 2007. The 42 states in OnTheMap version 2 cover three years of data (2002-2004) and roughly 83 percent of the nation's population, introducing for the first time cross-state worker flows and new geographic layers such as Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) regions and the 110th Congressional Districts.

The freehand tool allows OnTheMap users to select geographical areas beyond traditional bounds and produce information on travel patterns; workforce distributions by age, earnings, and industry; and employment dynamics at the local level. OnTheMap is supported by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor and the 45 states in the Local Employment Dynamics partnership with the Census Bureau. OnTheMap version 2 is accessible by selecting "Local Employment Dynamics" at http://www.census.gov and then "OnTheMap V2" under "Quick Links."
