TO: CTPP-News The State Data Center network has posted some very useful information, provided by Census Bureau staff, in the comparison of employed resident data from the decennial census and the CPS (Current Population Survey). These notes were provided to the SDC network as part of a recent SDC committee meeting, and they are available at: http://www.sdcbidc.iupui.edu/html/news_.html go to the link: "Notes from Tom Palumbo of HHES" to download a WORD document. One site mentioned in Mr. Palumbo's notes is worth mentioning: the Census Bureau page, here: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/laborfor.html on "labor force statistics." What may be very useful (to some) is the 92-page report: "Comparing Employment, Income, and Poverty: Census 2000 and Current Population Survey" Hope this is helpful.
