for the International Assessment of 

Adult Competencies (PIAAC) National 

Supplement data collection to survey 

adults (16–74 years old) in households

and Development (http:// 

www.oecd.org/), sponsored by the U.S. 

Departments of Education and Labor in 

the United States, and included data

literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving 

skills in technology-rich environments 

and collects survey information from 

respondents about their education and 

employment experience and about the 

skills they use at work. PIAAC builds on 

previous international literacy 

assessments including the 2002 Adult 

Literacy and Lifeskills Survey and the

Supplement data collection will occur
