QWI and OnTheMap Insights on FIFA World Cup Workforce Impact

Description

The FIFA World Cup brings millions of visitors, increased economic activity, and significant transportation demands to host communities. This webinar demonstrates how the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) and OnTheMap can help stakeholders analyze workforce dynamics and commuting patterns associated with major sporting events.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Use OnTheMap to visualize where workers live and work in and around World Cup host venues.
  • Examine commuter inflows and outflows to understand transportation and infrastructure demands.
  • Identify workforce concentrations in industries likely to be impacted by the event, including hospitality, food services, transportation, and entertainment.
  • Use QWI to track employment trends, workforce demographics, earnings, and industry growth before and after the event.
  • Support planning efforts related to transportation, public safety, workforce development, and economic development.
  • Communicate complex workforce and commuting data through maps, charts, and compelling visual stories.

Through practical demonstrations and event-focused examples, attendees will discover how QWI and OnTheMap can provide valuable insights into the workforce and mobility patterns that shape the success of large-scale international events.
