This study is quite different from a BLS study on unemployed jobseekers actively searching for work in 1976. The earlier study surveyed unemployed jobseekers in the jobseeking activities, and other factors of employment, only once, while this study surveys such jobseekers in one month, and tracks these jobseekers in the following month. Monthly Labor Review , Nov. 1977, pp. The CPS covers 50 States and the District of Columbia. Individuals who move out of a household between surveys cannot be tracked.
Additional information regarding the sample of unemployed jobseekers is available from the authors.
