Current Population Survey Redesign Bibliography

In January of 1994, the BLS redesigned the Current Population Survey (CPS). Eight years of planning and extensive research led up to this redesign, which also utilized computer assisted data collection methods.

This bibliography 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. For more information about the CPS, please visit the Current Population Survey page.
