Population Survey
Timing Changed
(Contir1ed from page one)

cluded the 18th of the month with
questions covering the week which
included the Sth. Beginning in July,
the Current Population Survey will
cover employment and unemploy-
ment during the week containing
the 18th of each month.
Experts agree that statistics re-
lating to the week of the 18th would
be more typical for the month as a
whole and would not be distorted
by major holidays such as the
Fourth of July and Labor Day. In
addition, the change in timing is
expected to minimize differences,
insofar as these have been caused
by different reference dates, be-
tween employment estimates based
on the Census enumeration of
households in the Current Popula-
tion Survey and those from other
sources.
The Current Population Survey
will be conducted this month dur
ing the week beginning July 18. In
formation from local residents will
be collected by Mrs. Pauline Mus
tard of Georgetown.
