terLimitations to Keep in Mind

• Not yet national in scope.• Does not include military, self-employed or

federal workers.• Data in OnTheMap refreshed annually, Industry

Focus & QWI Online quarterly. Not all states supply data at the same rate.

• OnTheMap reports on top five city,county, or unincorporated areas; Version 2 will show top 10.

• OnTheMap can only cross state borders between IL and MO. Version 2 will show cross state data for all.

- by industry

- income group

- across state borders

• Currently adding data on federal and self-employed workers
