Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics, U.S. Census Bureau
The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. The LEHD program produces new, cost effective, public-use information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership. State and local authorities increasingly need detailed local information about their economies to make informed decisions. The LED Partnership works to fill critical data gaps and provide indicators needed by state and local authorities. Data from the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership provide unprecedented details about America's jobs, workers, and local economies and communities. LED integrates existing data from state-supplied administrative records on workers and employers with existing censuses, surveys, and other administrative records to create a longitudinal data system on U.S. employment. State-of-the-art methods to protect the confidentiality of the original respondents allow LED to release data for local and regional areas beyond traditional boundaries for public use on the Internet.

U.S. Census Bureau, On the Map
Based on 2002-2010 LEHD Origin Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), OnTheMap is a powerful GIS tool that is useful for showing both where workers live, and where jobs are located, and can depict flow patterns (home to work, work to home), as well as specifics on distance and direction, type of industry, and more. All maps, charts, and reports can be down­loaded or printed, and geographies (shape files) can be exported.
