The LED Program at the Census Bureau, together with its state partners (including the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development), provides new information - the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) - on Local Employment Dynamics that is: local at the county and sub county level - so that decisions can be made in the right context.
Information on Employment for workers in different industries and different age and sex groups - so that you know where the jobs are - together with earnings - so you know what people are getting paid.
Also provides dynamic information on the rapidly changing economy - with information on where jobs are being created and destroyed, how much turnover there is in each industry together with long-term trends.
In today’s fast paced global economy, the demand for detailed and timely labor market data is increasing. State and local officials, in particular, need good local level data in order to make informed decisions. The Census/State partnership works to fill this critical need. The LED program within the US Census Bureau uses collaborations between state and federal agencies to bring together data sets in powerful relational databases. The end result is a unique set of Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWIs), such as turnover rates, new hires and job creation for local areas by industry, age and sex. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development is a proud partner in this effort.
