The U.S. Census Bureau and the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership in collaboration with the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute, welcomes Hubert Janicki, as he presents, “How the COVID-19 Pandemic Prompted More People to Change Jobs.” New U.S. Census Bureau statistics from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) show to what extent U.S. workers changed jobs across industries during and after the pandemic emergency was declared over in 2023.

LEHD’s Job-to-Job Flows (J2J) data product now includes an experimental research release of job flow counts across industries from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) down to a more detailed subsector level (3-digit NAICS). 

Analyzing industry subsectors rather than just industry sectors captures job shifts within and across industries, painting a richer picture of how frequently workers changed jobs during the pandemic.
