Part I of this technical documentation provides information about the basic file. The basic file contains the data obtained from questions asked each month in the Current Population Survey. In some months, supplemental data are gathered concerning various items. When a file contains supplemental data, the information about that data is contained in a supplement to this technical documentation (PART II). For general information concerning supplemental data, see the overview section in Part I. 1 Page 6 ICPSR 7783 BASIC FILE INFORMATION Current Population Survey January - February 1968-1978 April - December 1968-1978 INTRODUCTION: The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a household sample survey conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census to provide estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the population is a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. The CPS was initially designed primarily to reproduce timely estimates on a sample basis with measurable reliability for labor force data at the U.S. level each month. Although this summarizes the major objectives considered in designing the original sample program, the CPS is now used for purposes well beyond those originally envisioned.. Expanding needs for additional current data by Government and other users have been met by adding additional questions to the monthly interview, in part by occasional supplementary inquiries. The survey covers the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States. BASIC DATA: The basic data is the information obtained each month from the survey. The record layout of the basic data is the same from January, 1968 to December, 1972. In January, 1973 a new layout was developed which continued through 1978. From January, 1973 through December, 1978 the basic data is in position 1-278 of the record. SUPPLEMENTAL DATA: The information derived from the questions added to the basic question (i.e.,questions after item 33) are called supplemental data. It continues from after position 278 until the end of the record,. There is usually some fields of blanks or "filler" which separate the basic data from the supplemental data. The record size varies depending upon which supplement it is.. Specific information regarding the individual CPS file (comprised of both the basic data and the appropriate supplemental data) is available following this section. 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 7 Summary Schematic: Basic Data II * (beginning January, 1973) __________________________________________________ Position 1-278 Filler Base Data II __________________________________________________ * derived from items 1-33 of the questionnaire Supplemental Data ** ____________________ - end of record Supplemental Data ____________________ ** derived from items after question 33 of the questionnaire. The size of supplemental data varies with each file. 1 Page 8 ICPSR 7783 Overview of the Current Population Survey Program The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a household sample survey conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census since the 1940s. It provides estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the population as a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. The CPS was initially designed primarily to produce timely estimates on a sample basis with measurable reliability for labor force data at the U.S.. level. Although this summarizes the major objectives considered in designing the original sample program, the CPS is now used for purposes well beyond those originally envisioned. Expanding needs for additional current data by Government and other users have been met by occasional supplementary inquiries. The survey covers the civilian non-institutional population of the United States, 14 years old and over. The CPS provides a large amount of detail not otherwise available on the economic status and activities of the population. It is the only source of monthly estimates of total employment, both farm and nonfarm; of nonfarm self-employed parsons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, as well as wage and salaried employees; and of the total unemployment, whether or not covered by unemployment insurance. It is the only comprehensive source of information on the personal characteristics of the total population (both in and out of the labor force), such as age and sex, race, marital and family status, veteran status, educational background, and ethnic origin. It provides the only available distribution of workers by the numbers of hours worked (as distinguished from aggregate or average hours for an industry), as well as being the only comprehensive current source of information on the occupations and industries of workers. Information is available from the survey not only for persons currently in the labor force but also for those who are outside the labor force. The characteristics of such persons -- whether married women with or without young children, disabled persons, students, older retired workers, etc -- can be determined. Information on their current desire for work, their past work experience, and their intentions as to jobseeking are available from a subsample. Data have been provided at the national level since the inception of the CPS. After a few years, data for the census regions were also provided. More recently, funds have become available permitting expansion of the sample to increase the reliability of data for States and selected standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's). To improve the reliability of estimates tabulated at levels below the census regions, some of the monthly estimates are cumulated for publication as quarterly and annual averages. 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 9 National estimates of the size, composition, and changes in composition of the labor force are published each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in Employment and Earnings. Estimates of the total and civilian labor force are produced in considerable detail at the national level, in most instances, by sex, race, and age. Unemployment rates are given by marital status and relationship to the household heal and by occupation and industry, duration of unemployment, whether seeking full- or part-time work, reason for unemployment, job search methods used, etc. Seasonally adjusted data are provided for many of these series. In addition, the CPS is the source of periodic studies of personal and family income, migration, educational attainment, and other demographic, social, and economic topics. Reports from these studies are issued by the Bureau in their various publications series. The P-20 series is most frequently used for these publications. Several subsets of these estimates are published in less detail as annual averages for the larger SMSA's and for States. Since 1968, the individual sample records from the CPS have been made available in the form of computer tape files for public use. These public use files contain all of tie demographic and economic information for each interviewed person in every interviewed household in the survey: sufficient geographic information is removed, however, to insure the confidentialitv of the respondent households. The following paragraphs outline the geographic levels and data available from these files. 1 Page 10 ICPSR 7783 Supplemental Data Current Population Survey 1968-1972 Geographic areas identified are regions, divisions, 19 States and 19 SMSA'S.

The CPS is a probability sample. As a consequence of this specification, it is possible to estimate most of the components of the survey error from data produced by the sample. 2. The sample is designed primarily to produce estimates of the major components of the labor force, in general, estimated levels with minimum variance for a fixed cost. 3. The major statistics of interest to be produced by the CPS are labor force characteristics of the U.S. population. The problem of maximizing the reliability for a wide range of other demographic statistics and for other tabulation areas is recognized as an important although secondary requirement.. The monthly survey covers the civilian noninstitutional population. 4. The sample is selected with probability controls to insure that sample areas are designatad in each of the 50 States and in the District of Columbia. This requirement insures an additional geographic spread of the sample and facilitates understanding the validity of the sample by a wider range of users. For a detailed technical explanation of the sampling, see Chapter II of the Current Population Survey: Design and Technology. ROTATION A sample is divided into eight approximately equal parts or subsamples, each a probability sample of the population covered by the survey. Each of these subsamples is known as a rotation group. Each new rotation group is included in the survey for 4 months, is excluded for 8 months, is returned for an additional 4 months, then is retired from the sample. Because of this feature, the plan is referred to as the 4-8-4 rotation. Chapter III of Current Population Survey: Design and methodology presents detailed, in-depth information on the sample rotation. MATCHING It is possible to match records across files because of the rotation scheme. The means of matching records is the scrambled ID number. However, the scrambling algorithm has undergone several changes, making it possible to match files only within the following groups: 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 53 Group 1 - Jan, 1968 through Nov 1971 Group 2 - Dec 1971 through Dec 1972 Group 3 - Jan. 1973 - Dec. 1976 Group 4 - Jan. 1977 - present Correct matching of individuals across these groups is impossible. It is also important to recognize that a match between monthly files will not produce the number of matches theoretically possible. (Figure III on page 23 of Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology has a chart which aids calculation of the proportion of records which match across files). Some potential matches cannot be made because an interview household may not be able to be interviewed at a later time on the rotation. Reasons for a non-interview include no one at home and housing unit temporarily vacant or respondent refused to be interviewed. Other reasons for non-interviews would include non-seasonal regular housing units that are vacant, units in sample which are temporarily occupied by persons with usual residence elsewhere, units unfit for occupancy, units under construction, units converted to temporary business or storage or unit occupied only by either members of the Armed Forces or by persons under 14. It is also possible that the household may have entirely different residents. GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATIONS For calendar year 1973, estimates were published for 19 States for which it was determined the CPS national sample could meet the reliability requirement of providing estimates of the annual average number of the monthly unemployed with a coefficient of variation of 10 percent or less on the number of persons unemployed assuming an unemployment rate of 5 percent. The 19 States having the largest population (and largest CPS national sample sizes) are California Massachusetts Ohio Florida Michigan Pennsylvania Georgia Minnesota Texas Illinois Missouri Virginia Indiana New Jersey Washington Maryland New York Wisconsin North Carolina For calendar years 1974 and 1975, the national sample was used to provide estimates for 8 States in addition to the 19 States mentioned,. The additional States were included partly because an improved estimation system was introduced and partly by adopting a revised reliability standard for the State estimates. With the revised estimation procedure, the CPS national sample in these 27 States is considered sufficient to meet the standard of providing estimated annual averages of the number of monthly unemployed with a coefficient of variation of 10 percent or less on the number of persons unemployed, assuming an unemployment rate of 6 (rather than 5) percent. These eight States are 1 Page 54 ICPSR 7783 Alabama Louisiana South Carolina Connecticut Oklahoma Tennessee Kentucky Oregon For calendar years 1976 and later, annual averages are to be provided for the 50 States and the District of Columbia with the same reliability standard as given above for calendar year 1974 and 1975 estimates. For the 27 States, the estimates are based on the national sample, for the 23 remaining States and the District of Columbia, a supplementary sample is designated each month to bring the reliability to the required standard. Chapter VI of Current Population Survey: Design and methodology presents detailed information concerning use of CPS data for States and local areas. 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 55 Glossary GEOGRAPHIC CONCEPTS Geographic Division - An area composed of contiguous States, with Alaska and Hawaii also included in one of the divisions. (A state is one of the 51 major politcal units in the United States..) The nine geographic divisions hare been largely unchanged for the presentation of summary statistics since the 1910 census. There are four regions: Northeast, North Central, South and West. The nine geographic divisions and four regions are presented below: NORTHEAST REGION SOUTH REGION New England Division South Atlantic Division Connecticut Delaware Maine District of Columbia Massachusetts Florida New Hampshire Georgia Rhode Island Maryland Vermont North Carolina South Carolina Virginia West Virginia Middle Atlantic Division East South Central Division New Jersey Alabama New York Kentucky Pennsylvania Mississippi Tennessee NORTH CENTRAL REGION East North Central Division West South Central Division Illinois Arkansas Indiana Louisiana Michigan Oklahoma Ohio Texas Wisconsin West North Central Division WEST REGION Iowa Mountain Division Kansas Minnesota Arizona Missouri Colorado 1 Page 56 ICPSR 7783 Nebraska Idaho North Dakota Montana South Dakota Nevada New Mexico Utah Wyoming Pacific Division Alaska California Hawaii Oregon Washington Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA`s) - The concept of an SMSA has been developed in order to present general purpose statistics. The geographic boundaries of SMSA's are drawn by the office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C., with the advice of representatives of the major Federal statistical agencies. In 1970, there were 247 SMSA's in the United States. Generally speaking, an SMSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at least one city (or twin cities) having a population of 50,000 or more plus adjacent counties which are metropolitan in character and are economically and socially integrated with the central city. In New England, towns and cities rather than counties are the units used in defining SMSA`s. The name of the central city or cities is used as the name of the SMSA. There is no limit to the number of adjacent counties included in the SMSA as long as they are integrated with the central city nor is an SMSA limited to a single State; boundaries may cross State lines, as in the case of the Washington, D.C. - Maryland - Virginia SMSA. Central Cities. (of an SMSA) - The largest city in an SMSA is always a central city. The names of one or two additional cities may be added to the SMSA title and identified as a central city on the basis of the following criteria issued by OMB: 1. The additional city or cities must have a population of one-third or more of that of the largest city and a minimum population of 25,000 or; 2. The additional city or cities must have at least 25,000 inhabitants. 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 57 Aqe - Age classification is based on the age of the person at his/her last birthday. Civilian Labor Force - See "Labor Force" Class of Worker - Specifies "wage and salary workers" subdivided into private and government workers, "self-employed workers" and "unpaid family workers". Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips or pay in kind from a private employer or from a government unit. Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their own business,, profession or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid family forkers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage. (See Industry, Occupation and Class of worker). Duration of Unemployment - Duration of unemployment represents the length of time (through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work- For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent employment- A period of 2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity of the present period of seeking work. Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment. Education See "Years of School Completed" Employed See "Labor Force" ESR (Employment Status Recode) - The classification of each civilian 14 years old and over according to his/her responses to the monthly (basic) labor force items in march. Experienced Labor Force - All employed persons and all unemeloyed persons except those who never worked at a full time job lasting at least 2 consecutive weeks. Full-time Labor Force - Persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part-time (part-time for economic reasons) such as slack work or material shortage and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. Full-time Schedule - Persons on full-time schedules include, persons working 35 hours or more, persons who forked 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons (e.g., illness) and usually work full- time, and persons "with a job but not at work" who usually work full-time. Head of Household - one person in each household was designated as the "head." However, the number of head is not equal to the number of households because only civilians are interviewed. The head of a household is usually the person regarded as the head by members of the household. Women are not classified as 1 Page 58 ICPSR 7783 heads if their husbands are resident members of the household at the time of the survey. Married couples related ho the head of a household are included in the head's household and are not classified as separate households. Head With No Other Relatives in Household - A household head who has no relatives living in the household. This would be the entry for a person living alone. Another example would be the- designated head of an apartment shared by two or more unrelated persons. Head With Other Relatives (including wife) in Household - The person designated as head of the household if he has one or more relatives (including his wife) living in the household. Highest Grade of School Attended - See "Years of School Attended". Hours of Work - Hours of work statistics relate to the actual member of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the holiday. For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job. Household - A household consists of all the parsons who occupy a house, an apartment:, or other group of rooms, or a room, which constitutes a housing unit. A group of rooms or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when it is occupied as a separate living quarters; that is, when the occupants do not live and eat with any other person in the structure, and when there is either (1) direct access from the outside or through a common hall, or (2) a kitchen or cooking equipment for the exclusive use of the occupants. Industry, Occupation, and Class of Worker - Industry, occupation, and class of worker (I & O) always apply to the same job. For the employed, current job is the job held in the reference week (the week before the survey). Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the most hours during the reference week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 or more weeks or by the job (either full or part-time) from which they were laid off. The I & 0 questions are also asked of persons not in the labor force who are in the 4th and 8th month in sample and who had worked in the last 5 years. The occupation/industry classification system for the 1970 Census of Population has been used to code March CPS data since 1971 Jobseekers - All unemployed persons who made specific efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week period preceding the survey week. Keeping House - Engaged in own housework.. Labor Force - Persons are classified as in the labor force if they were employed, unemployed, or in the Armed Forces during the survey week. The 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 59 "civilian labor force" includes all civilians classified as employed or unemployed,. The file includes labor force data for civilians age 14 and over. However, the official definition of the civilian labor force is age 16 and over. 1. Employed - Employed persons comprise (1) all civilians who, during the survey week, did any work at all as paid employees or in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm in a business operated by a member of the family, and (2) all those who were not working but who had jobs because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or Labor- Management dispute, or because they were taking time off for personal reasons, whether or not they were seeking other jobs. These persons would have an Employment Status Recode (ESR) of one or two respectively in character 12 of the person record which designates at "work" and "with a job, but not at work". Each employed person is counted only once. Those persons who held more than one job are counted in the job at which they work-ad the greatest number of hours during the survey 50 week. If they worked an equal number of hours at more than one job, they would be counted at the job they held the longest. 2. Unemployed persons are those civilians who, during the survey week, had no employment but were available for work and (1) had engaged in any specific job seeking activity within the past 4 weeks, such as registering at a public or private employment office, meeting with prospective employers, checking with friends or relatives, placing or answering advertisements, writing letters of application, or being on a union or professional register; (2) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (3) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days. These persons would have an ESR Code of three in character 12 of the person record. The unemployed includes job leavers, job losers, new job entrants, and job reentrants. a. Job Leavers - are persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work. b. Job Losers - are persons whose employments ended involuntarily who immediately began looking for work and those persons already on lay off. c. New Job Entrants - are persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer. d. Job Reentrants - are persons who previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of the labor force prior to beginning to look for 1 Page 60 ICPSR 7783 work. 3. Not in Labor Force - This includes all civilians 14 years and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework", "in school", "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other".. The "other" group includes for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week is an "off" season and who were not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force. For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are asked only in those household that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month. These items are asked in question 24. See facsimile questionnaire in Appendix B. Such persons have an ESR code of 4-7 in character 12 of the person record. Finally, it should be noted that the unemployment rate represents the number of persons unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force 16 years old and over. This measure can also be computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital status, race, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant and new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian labor force 16 years old and over: the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals the total unemployment rate. Layoff - Unemployed but waiting to be called back to a specific job because one expects to be called back to work. If one expects to be called back within 30 days, it is considered a temporary layoff; otherwise, it is an indefinite layoff. Looking for Work - Trying to get work or trying to establish a business or profession. Marital Status - The marital status classification identifies three major categories: never married, married, widowed, or divorced. These terms refer to the marital status at the time of enumeration. The category "married" is further divided into married, spouse present" and "spouse absent" (including separated). A person was classified as "married, spouse present" if the husband or wife was reported as a member of the 1 ICPSR 7783 Page 61 household even though he or she may have been temporarily absent on business or on vacation, visiting, in a hospital, etc, at the time of the enumeration. The group "other married, spouse absent" includes married persons employed and living for several months at a colsiderable distance from their homes, those whose spouses were absent in the Armed Forces, immigrants whose spouses remained in other areas, husbands or wives of inmates of institutions, and all other married persons (including those reported as separated) whose places of residence were not the same at that of their spouses. Month-In-Sample - The number of times a unit has been interviewed. Each unit will be interviewed eight times during the life of the sample. (Also see discussion of sample design). Never Worked - A person who has never held a full-time civilian job lasting 2 consecutive weeks or more. Nonrelative of Head With No Own Relatives in Household - A non- relative of the head who has no relative(s) of his own in the household. This category includes such nonrelatives as a foster child, a ward, a lodger, a servant, or a hired hand, who has no relatives of his own living with him in the household. Nonrelative of Head With Own Relatives (Including wife) in Household - Any household member who is not related to the head but has relatives of his own in the household. For example, a lodger, his wife, and their son. Other Relative of Head - Any relative of the household head other than his wife; for example, his child, father, mother, grandson,, daughter-in-law, etc. Part-time , Economic Reasons - "Economic reasons" include. Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find full- time work. (See also full-time labor force). Part-time Other Reasons - "Other reasons" include: labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of homo, housework. school, no desire for full-time work, and full-time worker only during peak season. Part-time Work - Persons who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part-time" during reference week. Race - The population is divided into three groups on the basis of race: White, Black, and "Other races". The last category includes Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and any other race except White and Black. In most of the published tables, "Other Races" are shown in combination with the Black population. Reentrants - Persons who previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to look for work. School - A person who spent most of his time during survey week attending any 1 Page 62 ICPSR 7783 kind of public or private school, including trade or vocational schools in which students receive no compensation in money or kind. Spanish Origin - Persons of Spanish origin in this file were determined on the basis of a question that asked for self- identification of the person's origin or descent. Respondents were asked to select their origin (or the origin of some other household member) from a "flash card" listing ethnic origins. Persons of Spanish origin, in particular, were those who indicated that their origin was Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or some other Spanish origin. Unable to Work - Because of long-term physical or mental illness, lasting 6 months or longer Unemployed - See "Labor Force".
