Terms of Clearance: We have approved this one-time supplement to the January 1991 Current Population Survey with the following conditions: 1) ETA shall in the future consider whether the CPS is the proper instrument by which to gain information about its target groups: youth and unskilled adults. It seems likely that these target groups will be under-represented in such a survey, especially when questions about job-related training ar included. Many in these groups have had difficulty in finding any job. 2) ETA shall in the future fully assess the value of these types of questions. Even if these questions were asked in a stand-alone survey, their perceptual nature would weaken the validity of the resulting information. Questions such as these do not answer important questions such as "What types of training do workers (especially unskilled ones) really need to improve their employability and productivity?" Question such as these do not highlight critical labor force needs and do not assess the potential productivity gains resulting from more training, a key issue in determining federal policy toward job training. 3) ETA shall preface its reported results from this survey with a note that these data are based on respondents' perceptions of necessary skills. Results therefore are not reliable estimators of what skills and training are actually required for certain occupations.
