From: commuteIN -- Labor Force
Cass: 2312 -- 14253 -- 16.22% (CSA qualifier)
Saunders: 2471 -- 11,197 22.07% (CSA qualifier, near MSA qualifier)
Otoe: 1771 -- 8,950 -- 19.79 (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
Gage: 1935 -- 12,650 -- 15.3% (Beatrice NOW qualifies as a Lincoln CSA micropolitan area)
Saline:1609 -- 8,401 -- 19.15% (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
Butler: 727 -- 4,756 -- 15.5% (CSA qualifier)
Johnson: 515 -- 3,172 -- 16.24% (CSA qualifier)

IN:
Dodge 4573 -- 19,897 -- 23% (Still CSA qualify, just about MSA now)
Lancaster 8426 -- 158,809 5.3% (ummmm..... Lincoln is too big of a self-sustaining market)
Otoe 914 -- 8,950 -- 10.2%

Interesting to note:
When Omaha and Lincoln combines:

Otoe 914+1771 = 2685 -- 8,950 30% (Otoe would be more than qualified as an Omaha/lincoln MSA county)
Dodge 4573 + (Lincoln numbers N/A) = 23% + Lincoln should be above 2% of Fremont market making it qualify as an Omaha/Lincoln MSA county

Conclusion:

upon finding this official research data, I have concluded that my previous figures were in fact, incorrect...  We may now have more official data
with official statistics to rely on:

Omaha MSA counties that commute to the Lincoln MSA:
Cass: 2312 -- 14253 -- 16.22% (CSA qualifier)
Saunders: 2471 -- 11,197 22.07% (CSA qualifier, near MSA qualifier)

While I was incorrect with unnoficial data, I have found the numbers are still increasing for the % of commuters to the Lincoln MSA, especially
from Saunders county

Lincoln MSA/Beatrice Micro CSA area:
Gage: 1935 -- 12,650 -- 15.3% (Beatrice NOW qualifies as a Lincoln CSA micropolitan area)
Staggering is the word when noticing the jump from the 2003 numbers: just over 12%

Counties that qualify as CSA with Lincoln and approaching MSA:
Otoe: 1771 -- 8,950 -- 19.79 (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
Saline:1609 -- 8,401 -- 19.15% (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
I was dissapointed in seeing the Saline county numbers, however both are increasing..

Counties that qualify as CSA with Lincoln, but will not be counted as CSA due to non-micropolitan area status, or is already a part
of the Omaha MSA consortium, only Gage will be added as a CSA with present data:
Saunders: 2471 -- 11,197 22.07% (CSA qualifier, near MSA qualifier)
Otoe: 1771 -- 8,950 -- 19.79 (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
Saline:1609 -- 8,401 -- 19.15% (CSA qualifier, approaching MSA qualifier)
Johnson: 515 -- 3,172 -- 16.24% (CSA qualifier)
Cass: 2312 -- 14253 -- 16.22% (CSA qualifier)
Butler: 727 -- 4,756 -- 15.5% (CSA qualifier)
Gage: 1935 -- 12,650 -- 15.3% (Beatrice NOW qualifies as a Lincoln CSA micropolitan area)

New Omaha MSA/CSA statistics:
Dodge 4573 -- 19,897 -- 23% (Still CSA qualify, just about MSA now)
Soon Omaha/Council Bluffs - Fremont CSA will be an MSA instead..
Otoe 914 -- 8,950 -- 10.2% - insignificant unless you add Lincoln to the equation

WHEN - when Omaha and Lincoln combines:
Otoe 914+1771 = 2685 -- 8,950 30% (Otoe would be more than qualified as an Omaha/lincoln MSA county)
Dodge 4573 + (Lincoln numbers N/A) = 23% + Lincoln should be above 2% of Fremont market making it qualify as an Omaha/Lincoln MSA
