To All
We are working to collect information about the resident labor force in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We set the residence as the State-Place of Cambridge city, MA, and the workplace as POW State-Place of Cambridge city, MA.
The numbers in the CTPP Flows tables are not adding up as expected. Table A304100 - Total workers (1) (Workers 16 years and over) provides an estimate of 27,725 (MOE 847), whereas Table B303100 - Household income in the past 12 months (2016$) (9) (Workers 16 years and over in households) provides a total estimate of 37,300 (MOE 2,054). Furthermore, when we add up the count of workers in each income bracket in Table B303100 they sum to 22,470.
I could understand if the total number of resident workers 16 and older in households was smaller than total workers over 16, but we cannot make sense of how the reverse could be true. It also doesn't explain why the sum of all categories is smaller than the listed total. Could data suppression account for this? That would seem unlikely at the level of a city of our size. Could the results be due to data suppression at smaller geographic levels having a ripple effect on a larger geo? I understand workers with an unclear or imprecise work address are excluded from the flow data. Are these issues a result of that screening or is this a different type of issue?
Interestingly, the numbers make sense as expected when we look at the Residence tables for the same geography. Table A102101 - Total workers (1) (Workers 16 years and over) provides an estimate of 61,925 (MOE 1,008) and Table A103100 - Total Workers in households (1) (Workers 16 years and over in households) estimates 54,195 (MOE 1,075).
Any help on interpreting our resident labor force stats is appreciated.

Dear CTPPers
We are developing a polygon upload tool so you can upload your polygon and capture all geography that fits within it for all levels of geography. I am looking for some beta testers to test this new tool, please email me if interested.
Thanks,

The Association of Public Data Users Conference (APDU) will be holding its annual conference on July 9-10 in Arlington, VA. I think members of this list will find the topics and speakers of interest and will appreciate the opportunity to meet with data producers and fellow data users. You can find the latest agenda linked here: http://apdu.org/events/conference/2019-annual-conference/
The most up to date line up of speakers includes the heads of the Census Bureau, BEA and BLS each talking about the challenges ahead for their respective programs. There will be a plenaries on the use of algorithms and public data as well as a discussion of the implications of the Census Bureau's new data security initiatives. There are also a range of breakout sessions, including a talk about the new CTPP.
Following the conference APDU is sponsoring an "Advanced Data Visualization Techniques in Tableau" training that might also be of interest. You can learn about the training here: http://apdu.org/2019/03/25/data-visualization-training/.
Please feel free to reach out to me or to Brendan Buff at bbuff(a)crec.net<mailto:bbuff@crec.net> for more information.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
We invite you to submit a proposal to present at the 2019 Annual Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Annual Partnership Workshop. 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the LED Partnership. The LED Partnership is a collaborative partnership between state data agencies and the Census Bureau to leverage existing data in the development of new sources of economic and demographic information for policy makers and data users. The workshop provides professional development and networking for Labor Market Information (LMI) directors, data analysts and data providers at state and federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and other data users. The focus of presentations at the workshop is useful and new applications of new data made possible through the LED State/Federal partnership, the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) or the QWI Explorer, the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Origin-Destination Employee Statistics (LODES) or the OnTheMap or OnTheMap for Emergency Management, the Job-to-Job Flows (J2J) or J2J Explorer, and the Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO).
Presentations selected for the workshop will be featured on plenary panels or in targeted breakout sessions during this popular learning event. Topics could be from a wide variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to: workforce development, economic development, transportation planning, and emergency management. We are particularly interested in examples from our state partners and strongly encourage LMI shops to apply.
