Current Population Survey: Merged Outgoing Rotation Groups, 1979-1994

<p>This data collection contains the Current Population Survey (CPS), which is a monthly household survey of employment and labor markets. Prepared by the National Bureau of Economic Research, this collection contains extracts from the CPS for 1979-1994. The extracts include individual data for about 30,000 individuals each month. The 50 or so variables selected relate to employment: hours worked, earnings, industry, occupation, education, and unionization. The extracts also contain many background variables: age, sex, race, ethnicity, geographic location, etc. Aside from standardizing the many different codes used by Census to indicate missing values, most variables are just as created by Census. Since 1979 only households in months 4 and 8 have been asked their usual weekly earnings/usual weekly hours. These are the outgoing rotation groups, and each year the Bureau of Labor Statistics gathers all these interviews together into a Merged Outgoing Rotation Group File.</p>

本数据集收录当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS）数据——该调查是一项针对就业与劳动力市场开展的月度家庭抽样调查。本数据集由美国国家经济研究局编制，收录了1979年至1994年的CPS提取样本。每月提取的数据涵盖约3万名个体的个体层面信息，共设置约50项与就业相关的变量，具体包括工作时长、薪资收入、行业类别、职业类型、受教育程度以及工会参与情况等；同时还包含多项背景变量，如年龄、性别、种族、族裔、地理位置等。除了对美国人口普查局用于标记缺失值的多种不同编码进行标准化处理外，绝大多数变量均保留了普查局原始生成的格式。自1979年起，仅受访月份为第4和第8个月的家庭会被问及常规周收入与常规周工作时长，这类受访家庭即为外出轮换组；每年美国劳工统计局都会将所有此类访谈数据整合为合并外出轮换组文件（Merged Outgoing Rotation Group File）。
