Notes: The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a household sample survey conducted monthly by the Census Bureau to provide estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, estimates of the population as a whole, and estimates of various subgroups in the population. Each March, in addition to the core of information mentioned above, the Current Population Survey: Annual Demographic Files provide detailed demographic data representative of the non-institutionalized, United States civilian population and male members of the Armed Services living in civilian housing. Approximately 200,000 records are included for each year. The data files for the years 1968-1976 were obtained from the Data Program and Library Service (DPLS), the University of Wisconsin. Some data management operations intended to store the records more efficiently were performed by DPLS. That organization also revised the original Census Bureau documentation. Sources of the later files are listed in their individual descriptions. Please note that other, related Current Population Surveys are conducted during March. These surveys are, nevertheless, separate entities.
