CES Spreadsheet Reporter User Survey

CES Spreadsheet Reporter User Survey

Dear Respondent,

This survey has been sent to you by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Current Employment Statistics survey. You were selected from a group of spreadsheet reporters. Our intent is to ask some questions that will hopefully improve your experience as a data provider.

Your responses will be used to improve the use of the data collection form. Your participation in this survey is voluntary. We estimate that it will take you 5 minutes to complete this survey. We are collecting this information under OMB Number 1225-0059. Without this currently approved number, we could not conduct this survey. (Expiration: January 31, 2016).

This survey is being administered by surveymonkey.com and resides on a server outside of the BLS domain. BLS cannot guarantee the protection of survey responses and advises against the inclusion of sensitive personal information in any response.

Please answer the items below; please give as much detail as possible for the open ended questions. If you have questions concerning this survey, please contact:
