Abstract:
|
The Current Population Survey (CPS) of households is a source of national and subnational labor force data, including the official unemployment rate which is a Primary Federal Economic Indicator. The sponsoring agencies (Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau) only implement changes that are supported by sufficient analysis. Several ongoing research projects are discussed including a study of subnational sample allocation, variance estimation including a new approach to Generalized Variance Estimation, and modifications to the composite estimator. Proposals for future research are outlined.
