报告摘要
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is one of the oldest, largest, and most well recognized surveys in the United States. It produces monthly household information about employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the civilian non-institutionalized population. In this talk, we will discuss the CPS sample design and estimation procedure, with specific attention to research problems in the areas of rotating panel design, sample size, systematic-sampling interval, AK composite estimate, and replication variance estimates. We will also provide some comments and suggestions for future research, and suggest some ways to improve current CPS methods. Finally, we will share some recent development on CPS research.
