U.S. Census Bureau updates OnTheMap and LODES with 2024 employment data
The U.S. Census Bureau is updating its workforce mapping and employment data tools with a new release that extends coverage through 2024. The refresh adds LODES 8.5 tabulations and keeps OnTheMap and LODES data available from 2002 to 2024 for most states, with Alaska and Michigan excluded from 2024 data.
Highlights
- U.S. Census Bureau's OnTheMap and LODES datasets now include employment data through 2024, expanding their historical series from 2002–2024.
- Alaska and Michigan are not included in the 2024 LODES dataset, affecting the completeness of national and state-level employment comparisons for this year.
- State-supported OnTheMap remains a vital resource for businesses, researchers, and public agencies analyzing regional labor trends with the updated data.
Release expands employment data coverage
As reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, the updated release covers the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Origin-Destination Employment Statistics, or LODES, data product and the OnTheMap application. The new LODES 8.5 tabulations include 2024 data, extending the employment series available in the tools.OnTheMap is a web-based mapping tool that tracks where workers live and work. The platform and the LODES dataset now contain employment data from 2002 through 2024 for most states.
State exceptions and program support
The 2024 dataset does not include Alaska and Michigan, which are listed as exceptions in the update. For users of the data, that means national and state-level comparisons for the latest year may require caution where those two states are concerned.The OnTheMap application is supported by state partners through the Local Employment Dynamics partnership with the Census Bureau. The update continues to provide a resource for businesses, researchers and public agencies tracking labor patterns across U.S. regions.
Our earlier article on early-career job-hopping highlighted research showing that switching jobs is a major driver of wage growth and helps workers find better long-term matches. It noted evidence that frequent moves early in a career can account for a sizable share of lifetime pay gains, despite cultural skepticism about short tenures. The piece also pointed to the broader labor-market role of mobility in improving job matching and long-run employment stability.
