View help for Summary
From https://www.census.gov/hhes/commuting/data/jtw_workerflow.html as of March 29, 2017:
These files were compiled from STF-S-5, Census of Population 1990: Number of Workers by County of Residence by County of Work [http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06123.v1]. For the six New England States (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT), data are provided for Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs) instead of for counties.For any State, or for the entire nation, there are four files to choose from, depending on the sort order and format you may find most useful.The sort order refers to whether the county of residence or the county of work is the main focus. If you are most interested in the number of people who live in a county, and want to know where they go to work, you should download one of the files sorted by county of residence. These files will show you all the work destinations for people who live in each county.On the other hand, if you are most interested in the people who work in a county, and want to know where they come from, you should download one of the files sorted by county of work. These files will show you all the origins for people who work in each county.The files have also been created in two formats: DBF and ASCII. The DBF files are directly accessible by a number of database, spreadsheet, and geographic information system programs. The ASCII files are more general purpose and may be imported into many software applications.

[Ed.: the original site also had state files. These were not downloaded, as they simply split the United States file into smaller chunks.]
