CPS Questionnaire
The computerized questionnaire for just the labor force portion
of a CPS interview consists of more than 200 questions. However,
complex skip patterns using the responses to several questions
insure respondents are asked only a very small set of questions
about themselves. Averaged over the 8 months of interviews, the
labor force portion of the CPS interview lasts about 6 minutes
per person. Obviously, larger households and households containing
someone who has multiple jobs or started a new job take longer.
Single-person households or households containing only retired
persons who do not wish to work take less time.

>Purpose1<
WHAT IS THIS SURVEY ALL ABOUT?
The Bureau conducts this surveycalled the Current Population Survey
each month to provide an uptodate estimate of the number of persons
working,
the number who are unemployed, and many other related facts. Occasionally
we
ask additional questions on education, health, family income,
housing, and
other important subjects.
ENTER <P> TO PROCEED WITH THE INTERVIEW.
ENTER <A> FOR ANOTHER QUESTION.
===>_
>Purpose2<
WHO USES THIS INFORMATION? WHAT GOOD IS IT?
In a country as big as ours and one that changes so rapidly between
decennial
censuses, people in government, business, and other groups need
uptodate
facts in order to plan efficient and adequate programs. It is
important to
know how many people are working or out of work (to help direct
programs
which would contribute to an expanding economy and provide new
jobs), how
many children will be attending school (to plan for schools and
the training
of an adequate number of teachers), how many new families are
forming (to plan
for adequate housing to meet their needs), and so on. The CPS
is one of the
most important and timely sources of information used to make
such plans.

ENTER <A> FOR ANOTHER QUESTION.
===>_
>Purpose3<
HOW WAS I SELECED FOR THIS SURVEY?
Actually, we selected your address, rather than you personally,
for this
survey. Each month, we scientifically select about 15,000 groups
of
addresses to represent the United States. Each of the address
groups
contains about four housing units and altogether result in about
48,000
interviewed households each month. If you should move away while
your
address is still in the survey, we would interview the family
that moves in.

ENTER <A> FOR ANOTHER QUESTION.
===>_
>Purpose4<
HOW MANY TIMES WILL I BE INTERVIEWED? OR
WHY AM I INTERVIEWED FOR (4/8) MONTHS?
We interview occupants of a selected dwelling for 4 consecutive
months because it is important to see if the employment situation
of the occupants changes. It is also less expensive to interview
the same dwelling for 4 consecutive months.
We interview occupants of a selected dwelling for 8 months
4 consecutive months in the current year and the same 4 months
in the following year.
We interview for 8 months because it is important to see if
the employment situation of the occupant changes. It is also
less expensive to interview the same dwelling for 8 months.
We interview occupants of a selected dwelling eight times
4 months in one year and the same 4 months in the following
year. We interviewed at this address four times last year.
We interview for 8 months because it is important to see if
the employment situation of the occupant changes. It is also
less expensive to interview the same dwelling for 8 months.)

>Purpose5<
I HESITATE TO TELL SOME THINGS ABOUT MYSELF. WHAT PROTECTION DO
I HAVE?
All information individuals give to the Census Bureau is held
in the
strictest confidence by law (title 13, United States Code, section
9).
All Census Bureau employees have taken an oath to this effect
and are
subject to a jail penalty and a fine if we disclose any information
survey respondents give us.
ENTER <P> TO PROCEED WITH THE INTERVIEW.
ENTER <A> FOR ANOTHER QUESTION.
===>_
>Purpose6<
IS THIS SURVEY AUTHORIZED BY LAW?
Yes. Title 13, United States Code, section 182, and title 29,
United States
Code, sections 1 through 9, authorized the collection of most
of the
information we request in this survey. In addition, portions of
the survey
in any 1 month may be authorized by one of the following: title
7, United
States Code, sections 16211627; title 38, United States Code,
section 219;
and Public Laws 89010, 92318, and 93380. In some months, the survey
may
contain questions authorized under laws other than those cited.

===>_
>Purpose7<
WHY DO YOU INCLUDE ME? I'M RETIRED.
Some retired persons may feel that their activities are not important
to this
type of survey and wonder why we include them. In order to have
an accurate
picture of the entire population, it is necessary to include persons
in all
age groups. Our experience with interviewing retired persons shows
that many
of them are actually participants in the labor force because they
work part
time or are looking for work. This information, along with data
on other
subjects such as income, health, and housing, assists in the measurement
of
the economic condition of the elderly population as a whole.
