CPS Labor Extracts: Current Outgoing Rotation Groups, 1979-2003
(Access: LDA Local Download)
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is the government monthly household survey of employment and labor markets. These are the outgoing rotation groups, and each year the BLS gathers all these interviews together into a single Merged Outgoing Rotation Group File. In the interest of ease of use, the NBER has prepared a CD-ROM with extracts of the files from 1979 on. The extracts include individual data for about 30,000 individuals each month on employment: hours worked, earnings, industry, occupation, education, and unionization, including background variables: age, sex, race, ethnicity, geographic location, etc. Annual income is not among the variables.
