Differences in the Labor Force Statistics Between the Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Surveys Unpublished Manuscript, Prepared for the U.S. Census Bureau, Demographic Surveys Division, [N.D.] Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Earnings; Research Methodology; Wage Growth The author seeks common ground between the CPS and the NLS in order to examine differences in the statistics derived from them. Age and sex of the respondent, timing of the interviewing technique, and statistical adjustment are some of the variables considered in comparing the two surveys. It is determined that the differences contained in the surveys are due in part to the adjustments of the CPS data as well as to the fact that the NLS does not re-weight its sample after the first year of the survey. However, the author does concede that the two surveys are not only different methodologically, but directionally as well, and therefore not expected to show identical results. |
