RE: [CTPP] Employment Status for the Popualtion Ages 14-18

Hi, Cliff You are right, the ACS only has labor force information for workers 16 years and older. Even the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamic (LEHD) only contains three age category (see below), which can't meet your needs neither. Number of jobs of workers age 29 or younger Number of jobs for workers age 30 to 54 Number of jobs for workers age 55 or older Liang Long Federal Highway Administration Room 74-440 1200 New Jersey, SE Washington, DC 20590 tel 202 366 6971 fax 202 493 2198 e-mail liang.long(a)dot.gov <mailto:liang.long@dot.gov> ________________________________ From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net on behalf of Cook, Cliff Sent: Mon 10/3/2011 10:14 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: [CTPP] Employment Status for the Popualtion Ages 14-18 I've been asked whether the ACS, or another readily available data source, provides labor force status for persons 14-18. My understanding is that ACS does not include this data, that labor force information is only collected for the population 16 and older. Am I correct? All suggestions and comments would be helpful.
