Hi, Bob
LODES Does not include self-employed (approx. 10% of workers).
We have done some comparisons among LEHD, ACS and CPS in terms of employment data. Here
is the link: Please go to the third article: Counting Workers: Comparison of Employment
Data for CPS, ACS and LODES
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/status_report/sr100113.…
There is also another article of “Comparing Commuting Flows between CTPP and LODES”
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/ctpp/status_report/sr1213.pdf
But I never got a chance to investigate employment by age and gender using LODES. ACS
PUMS data are good source if you are looking for employment information by age and gender
as they provide ages in one year increment. Also, some of the employment status
questions were modified in 2008, resulting in ACS employment estimates which are better
matched with the CPS labor force estimates. But of course, you can only get this
information down to PUMA level (100,000 population thresholds).
Hope this helps.
Liang

Thanks Ed and Liang,
I had understood that Steve was trying to get adult "daytime" female population
by census tract. The WAC data appears to have both some age group stratifications and
gender. I meant to ask about the use of the LEHD data as a question to see how it compares
with the CTPP/ACS approach. With previous experience we have found that the gender fields
do not sum to the total employment values, so there is missing data in the LEHD also. But,
could it be a more complete dataset and could it give a better estimate? Has anyone else
checked this for other areas?
Also, although the age groups are 29 and younger, 30 to 54, and 54 and older, could it be
assumed that most of the employees, even in the 29 and younger age group could be
classified as "adult" ?
Thanks!

Hi, Bob
Sorry that I didn’t make my explanation clear in the first email.
LODES does have flows and they have flows by age and flows by gender. But similar to
CTPP, they don’t have two way tabulations, flows by age and gender.
I was hitting “send” button too quickly for the first email. Actually, as part of LODES,
residence information is provided.

How would this compare with using LEHD?

I didn't manage to send my response last night. I suggest you use the ACS PUMS
To run a 4-way cross tab of industry and occupation by age and sex. The geography is
limited to residential geography at Puma level.

Hi, Steve
Your methodology is totally fine with me.
I wish we had the cross table of sex by age for workers for both Part 1 and Part 2, so you
can get measures of female workers for 40 years up.

Subject: [CTPP] female daytime population
We are trying to come up with an estimate of adult “daytime” female population for each
census tract in Salt Lake City.
Intuitively, for a census tract, A, this estimate is: (the number of women who have a
workplace in A) plus (the number of women live in A) minus (the number of working women
who live in A).
From the 5-year CTPP, we will use tables A20211,
A101203, and A11600 for the three terms in the above calculation. We will only calculate
the measure for women 16 years and older (although ideally we’d like to have a measure for
just 40 years and up).
Can anyone from this list provide me with feedback about this methodology? Are there any
big issues that I need to be aware of? Is there a better way to be doing this?
In the end, we would like a daytime measure of the female population in order to calculate
mammography accessibility metrics.
Many thanks for your comments.
