  • Workers by citizenship and field, 2024. American Community Survey 2024 1-year Public Use Microdata Sample. Civilian employed people age 16 and over, weighted by person weight, grouped by the occupation’s SOC major group. Citizens are people born in the United States, born in a U.S. territory, born abroad of American parents, or naturalized. The naturalized count is the naturalized part of the citizen count. Non-citizens include green-card holders, temporary workers, refugees, and people without status who answered the survey. The survey records citizenship and has no visa class. A state share is hidden when fewer than 80 respondents in that state and field are employed. These are workers, not jobs, and they are separate from the county filing counts. Puerto Rico is not included.
  • College and university job visas, FY 2025. Department of Labor, OFLC disclosure files, FY 2025. Employers whose NAICS code starts with 6112 (junior colleges) or 6113 (colleges, universities, and professional schools). H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 positions come from the LCA files, Q1–Q4, latest status Certified, counted with the same case rules as the county file. Green-card labor certifications are certified PERM applications, one worker each. Each tax ID is a separate employer, so campuses that file apart stay apart. A certified slot is not a person admitted. University hospitals that file under a hospital industry code are not included. J-1 scholars, Optional Practical Training, TN, and O-1 are not in these files.
  • Job visas by county and field, FY 2025. Department of Labor, OFLC disclosure files, FY 2025. H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 positions come from the LCA files, Q1–Q4. H-2A and H-2B workers come from the full-year files and include partial certifications. Duplicate case numbers are kept once and counted at the primary worksite county. The field is the occupation’s SOC major group. Remote on Where you stand sums the same county counts for the selected field across the country. A certified slot is not a person admitted, and the same worker can be certified under more than one program in the same year. L-1, TN, O-1, and student work permits are not in these files.
  • Green-card labor certifications, FY 2025. Department of Labor PERM disclosure, FY 2025. Certified applications, including those later marked expired, counted once at the primary worksite. One application is one worker. This is the labor-certification step for an employment green card. Green cards that skip this step, including EB-1 and national-interest waivers, are not included. Family and asylum immigration is not tied to a job and is not included.
  • County population share, 1990–2025. The same county series as the ethnicity maps. Indian, East Asian, and Arab shares start in 2000. Connecticut’s 2025 figures are planning regions, so its eight counties stop at 2020.
  • Wealth by generation, 2026 Q2. Federal Reserve Distributional Financial Accounts, distribution of household net worth by generation, 2026 Q2. Silent and earlier 10.7%, baby boomers 52.5%, Generation X 25.7%, and everyone born in 1981 or later 11.2%. The Fed defines that last line as Millennial and does not split Gen Z or Gen Alpha. It does not publish these shares by state.
  • Generation’s share of state population. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year table B01001, sex by age, for the nation, the 50 states, and D.C. Ages are as of 2024. A band that crosses a generation cut is split evenly by the years in it: Gen Alpha 0–11, Gen Z 12–27, Millennial 28–43, Gen X 44–59, boomer 60–78, Silent 79 and older. This is a population share, not a wealth share.
