description: collection_notes: The CPS sample is located in 629 sample areas comprising more than 1,000 counties and independent cities with coverage in every State and in the District of Columbia. This file reflects interviews for approximately 60,000 households containing about 130,000 persons. Each household is interviewed once a month for four consecutive months in one year and again for the corresponding time period one year later. This makes possible comparisons on a month-to-month and year-to year basis. The CPS sample is based on the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States. In March of each year supplemental data are collected for male Armed Forces members residing with their families in civilian housing units or on a military base. The Armed Forces members, however, are not asked the monthly labor force questions or the supplemental questions on work experience. In addition, the March CPS is supplemented with a sample of Spanish households identified the previous November. This results in the addition of about 2,500 households in the March CPS. The inclusion of the additional sample of Spanish households began in 1976. A more detailed explanation of the CPS sample design is provided in The Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology (Technical Paper 40, U.S. Bureau of the Census). For a more detailed discussion about the basic labor force data gathered on a monthly basis in the CPS survey see the Bureau of Labor Statistics Report NO. 463 or the Current Population Report P-23, No. 62 issued jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of the Census in October, 1976, and entitled Concepts and Methods Used In Labor Statistics Derived from the Current Population Survey.
