RE: [CTPP] Long-term data on job locations

Dear Rolf -- The Bureau of Economic Analysis includes commuting data starting from 1970. Although not sub-county data as you requested, county-to-county flows are available here: http://www.bea.gov/regional/reis/jtw/ This isn't as far back as the 1950's, nor at the geographic scale you wanted, but perhaps useful, nonetheless.

Our digital records go back to the 1990 CTPP. We have print-outs from the 1980 UTPP, in about five thick dust-choked ring binders. They were printed out from a long-gone mainframe computer. It is remotely possible that we have a floppy disk around somewhere with the data in a digital form, but that would require some digging. There are planning reports left over from a 1985-era plan that have the 1980 UTPP data in a somewhat condensed form (still TAZ-level). Let me know if you are interested in the Little Rock area, and we will find a way to get the data to you. But it will probably be photocopies - not digital. We do still have an old vellum map with the 1980 TAZ geography. Can probably reproduce this too one way or another. Everything was so primitive back then. But, on the brighter side, I was actually young! Hope this helps.
