    Needs and Uses: The data products developed by the LEHD program 
provide statistics on employment, earnings, and job flows at detailed 
levels of geography and industry and for different demographic groups. 
The potential and realized uses of these data products and their 
supporting dissemination tools are far-reaching, both for unraveling 
many important questions in economic research and for the provision of 
new statistical products. Over the first five months of 2017, the 
Census Bureau received more than 105,000 visits to its LEHD 
dissemination tools. Just some examples of novel use of LEHD data 
include:
     The New Jersey State Data Center used OnTheMap for 
Emergency Management to quickly learn the impact of hurricane Sandy 
with regards to identification of Federal Disaster Declaration Areas 
and its effects on communities (i.e., population and workforce).
     The state of Nevada has used the Job-to-Job Flows data 
product to understand the migration of its workforce that supports the 
hotel industry.
     The Philadelphia Center City District used LEHD data to 
understand the details of the area's workforce and economy in order to 
monitor the effectiveness of economic programs and policy initiatives.
    Additional examples of how the LEHD data products and supporting 
dissemination tools have been used can be found at the LEHD website:
