Re: [CTPP] Census Bureau News -- Census Bureau Media Advisory Commuting Products to be Embargoed

Census Bureau wil be releasing data and reports on commuting patterns next week. If you have Census PIO embargo access, you'll be able to dig into it as early as Monday afternoon. This is a new product -- so I'm not sure how the data will be structured -- anyone know? Enjoy. --Todd Graham Metropolitan Council Research ________________________________________ From: U.S. Census Bureau [census(a)subscriptions.census.gov] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 9:54 AM Subject: Census Bureau News -- **Census Bureau Media Advisory** Commuting Products to be Embargoed FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2013 Public Information Office CB13-39 301-763-3030 email: <pio(a)census.gov> ***CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY*** Commuting Products to be Embargoed The U.S. Census Bureau’s Public Information Office will offer an embargo period next week for members of the media to view a series of commuting products. Statistics will be available for every county in the U.S. showing the number of workers that commute in or out and which counties those commuters travel to and from. Additional reports and tables, based on statistics from the American Community Survey, examine U.S. residents traveling across county and state lines to work. Specifically, the products present U.S. workers who have commutes of 60 minutes or longer and workers who have “mega commutes” of at least 90 minutes and 50 miles. Statistics will also be available for every county in the U.S. that show the number of workers that commute into or out of the county and which counties those commuters travel to and from. The reports and tables will be posted to the Census Bureau’s embargo site at noon EST Monday, March 4. The public release will be at 12:01 a.m. EST Tuesday, March 5. Wire and distribution services are prohibited from distributing embargoed news releases and data files to subscribers before the public release date and time.
