Abstract:

The Joint Program in Survey Methodology, initiated in 1993, has had a major impact on the workforce at federal statistical agencies. This paper discusses history and structure of the program and impact of the program on the careers of its graduates. In particular, it examines how employees at one of these agencies--the U.S. Census Bureau--supported in the master's degree program, have contributed to survey methodological research. It explores the impact contributions from these employees on the official statistics programs conducted by the Census Bureau.
