Abstract
Ernest Lawley, Marie Stetster, and Eduardas Valaitis (2007) "Alternative Allocation Designs for a Highly Stratified Establishment Surveys"
The primary objective of Occupational Employment
Statistics Survey, conducted by U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics in partnership with the 50 States and District of
Columbia, is to measure occupational employment and
wages at the very detailed level of Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSA) crossed by over 300 industries. That is, how
many people are employed in one of the 800 Standard
Occupational Codes (SOC) and what are the mean
occupational wages for each industry by MSA. A given
sampling frame contains about 175,000 non-empty MSA-by-industry cells.
The occupational employment and
wage estimates are also required at various aggregated
levels of geography and industry. This study examines
alternative sample allocation designs for a highly
stratified population that deals with multiple issues such
as establishment employment size and occupational
diversity and variability.
