An examination of the four waves of NLS of Older Men for validity showed that although the data contain some measures of individual characteristics that are not available from other sources, the four waves of the survey are not entirely comparable in continuity of time periods and completeness of information. Some difficulty is encountered interpreting the data because of differences in interview method. Earlier concerns about lack of usable samples due to expected low incidence of unemployment in the age group were found to be unnecessary. Greater familiarity with the data is expected to lead to further and more efficient applications of the results.
