November 14 from 10:30am-12:00pm (ZOOM)
Since 1990 the Bureau has always added ‘noise’ to the decennial statistics, but for 2020 Census data the Bureau will be using a new privacy protection framework based on ‘differential privacy.’ At this session, two national researchers with extensive experience using Census data will discuss how this will impact the use ability of the data and offer suggestions on ways in which data users can determine the use ability of Census data.

Through the course of their work, Chicago Beyond identified “evidence that the power dynamic between community organizations, researchers, and funders blocks information that could drive better decision-making and fuel more investment in communities most in need.” Join this session as we discuss the lessons from the guidebook, Why am I Always Being Researched, so we can learn how we can approach our data to work more equitably.

The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces estimates of the population for the United States, its states, counties, cities, and towns, as well as for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its municipios. These estimates are used to determine federal funding allocations to states, as survey controls, and as denominators for vital public health purposes. As the new estimates are developed based on the decennial census, learn how the estimates are developed and will impact the state over the next decade.

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. These data have been used to look at questions such as, “how the pandemic exacerbated Greater Minnesota's workforce challenges,” “how have women’s opportunities in the workplace in North Carolina been affected by the Covid Pandemic,” “what may be driving growth in the ‘gig economy,” among other important workforce questions. The LEHD program produces information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership. The LEHD program combines Unemployment Insurance earnings data and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), additional administrative data and data from censuses and surveys. From these data, the program creates statistics on employment, earnings, and job flows at detailed levels of geography and industry and for different demographic groups. In addition, the LEHD program uses these data to create partially synthetic data on workers' residential patterns.
