Included in the bibliography are papers presented at the annual Joint Statistical Meetings and other conferences, as well as papers appearing in journals and the BLS Statistical Notes series.

Economic Working Papers

The BLS Economic Working Paper Series is a collection of research papers authored by senior economists within various offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This series is maintained by the Office of Employment Research and Program Development, the Compensation Research and Program Development Group, and the Division of Price and Index Number Research. The purpose of the BLS Working Paper Series is to circulate research findings to interested readers within and outside the BLS as a means of encouraging discussion prior to publication in academic journals.

Current Population Survey Redesign Bibliography

In January of 1994, a completely redesigned Current Population Survey (CPS) was put into full scale production use. Eight years of planning and extensive research led up to this transition from the old survey to the new survey, which also utilizes computer assisted data collection methods. This bibliography, maintained by the Office of Survey Methods Research, is a collection of research papers written by BLS and Census Bureau statisticians and behavioral scientists on all phases of the redesign of the CPS.
