*Commuters to/from Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are shown separately and are not included in the "Out of State" category.
The 2008 data show unusually large increases in commuting
to out-of-state for all Indiana counties. The Indiana Department
of Revenue reports no changes in the calculation method for these
data, but STATS Indiana advises caution when conducting analysis using the 2008 out-of-state data.
Note: These figures are provided to give a summary of commuting patterns, not employment patterns, and will not match labor force or employment numbers from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
