The U.S. Census Bureau is hosting a webinar on Thursday, August 6, at 2:00 p.m. ET, to demonstrate how its data tools can analyze workforce shifts and commuting patterns, particularly in relation to major sporting events like the FIFA World Cup. This initiative aims to help communities understand the economic and transportation demands associated with hosting large-scale events.
Experts Earlene Dowell and Dave Schuler will lead the session, showcasing the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) and OnTheMap data tool. These resources provide valuable insights into workforce dynamics, which are crucial for planning and managing the significant influx of visitors and increased economic activity that events such as the World Cup bring.
The webinar is part of the Census Bureau's ongoing efforts to provide accessible data for various uses, including urban development planning, business strategies, and research projects. It highlights the utility of Census Bureau data in addressing real-world challenges and informing public interest decisions.
