The intent of this paper is to review a unique data set that examines the longitudinal labor force behavior of a nationally representative sample of four age-sex groups--young men and women 14-24, mature women 30-44 and older men 45-59--who are in the process of engaging or disengaging from the labor force. To date, research on the National Longitudinal Surveys has been less extensive than would have been anticipated due in part to inadequate dissemination of information on the surveys, the condition of the actual data files themselves and the high cost of acquisition. It is hoped that a description of the content of the survey, its technical problems and current research being conducted will encourage use and stimulate discussion on ways to make the data set more amenable to analysis.
