OVERVIEW
Current Population Survey
Introduction
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is the source of the official government statistics on employment and
unemployment. The CPS has been conducted monthly for over 50 years. Currently, we obtain interviews from
about 56,000 households monthly, scientifically selected on the basis of area of residence to represent the nation as
a whole, individual states, and other specified areas. Each household is interviewed once a month for four
consecutive months one year, and again for the corresponding time period a year later. This technique enables us to
obtain reliable month-to-month and year-to-year comparisons at a reasonable cost while minimizing the
inconvenience to any one household.
Although the main purpose of the survey is to collect information on the employment situation, a very important
secondary purpose is to collect information on demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status,
educational attainment, family relationship, occupation, and industry. From time to time, additional questions are
included on health, education, income, and previous work experience. The statistics resulting from these questions
serve to update similar information collected once every 10 years through the decennial census, and are used by
government policymakers and legislators as important indicators of our nation's economic situation and for
planning and evaluating many government programs.
The CPS provides current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States.
Because it is not possible to develop one or two overall figures (such as the number of unemployed) that would
adequately describe the whole complex of labor market phenomena, the CPS is designed to provide a large amount
of detailed and supplementary data. Such data are made available to meet a wide variety of needs on the part of
users of labor market information.
Thus, the CPS is the only source of monthly estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm); nonfarm selfemployed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises; wage and salaried employees; and,
finally, estimates of total unemployment.
It provides the only available distribution of workers by the number of hours worked (as distinguished from
aggregate or average hours for an industry), permitting separate analyses of part-time workers, workers on
overtime, etc. The survey is also the only comprehensive current source of information on the occupation of
workers and the industries in which they work. Information is available from the survey not only for persons
currently in the labor force but also for those who are outside the labor force. The characteristics of such persons whether married women with or without young children, disabled persons, students, older retired workers, etc., can
be determined. Information on their current desire for work, their past work experience, and their intentions as to
job seeking are also available.
For a more detailed discussion about the basic labor force data gathered on a monthly basis in the CPS survey, see
"Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error" in any recent issue of the Employment and Earnings, a Bureau of Labor
Statistics periodical. This source is referred to on the next page.

CPS Sample Design
The current CPS sample is selected based on 2000 census information. The first stage of the 2000 sample design
created 2,025 geographic areas called primary sampling units (PSUs) in the entire United States. These PSUs were
grouped into strata within each state. Some of these PSUs formed strata by themselves and were in sample with
certainty, which is referred to as self-representing. Of the remaining nonself-representing PSUs, one PSU was
selected from each stratum with the probability of selection proportional to the population of the PSU. A total of
824 PSUs were selected for sampling. The second stage of the sample design selected housing units within these
PSUs.
Approximately 72,000 housing units are assigned for interview each month, of which about 60,000 are occupied
and thus eligible for interview. The remainder are units found to be destroyed, vacant, converted to nonresidential
use, containing persons whose usual place of residence is elsewhere, or ineligible for other reasons. Of the 60,000
occupied housing units, approximately 7 percent are not interviewed in a given month due to temporary absence
(vacation, etc.), the residents are not found at home after repeated attempts, inability of persons contacted to
respond, unavailability for other reasons, and refusals to cooperate. The interviewed households contain
approximately 108,000 persons 15 years old and over, approximately 27,000 children 0-14 years old, and about
450 Armed Forces members living with civilians either on or off base within these households. A more precise
explanation regarding the CPS sample design is provided in "Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error:
Household Data - Sampling" in any issue of Employment and Earnings.

Relationship of Current Population Survey Files to Publications
Each month, a significant amount of information about the labor force is published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in the Employment and Earnings and Monthly Labor Review reports.
As mentioned previously, the CPS also serves as a vehicle for supplemental inquiries on subjects other than
employment, which are periodically added to the questionnaire. From the basic and supplemental data, the Bureau
of the Census issues three series of publications under the general title Current Population Reports:
P-20 Population Characteristics
P-23 Special Studies
P-60 Consumer Income
All Current Population Reports, including the other series for population estimates and projections and special
censuses, may be obtained by subscription from the U.S. Government Printing Office at 202-783-3238.
Subscriptions are available as follows: Population Characteristics, Special Studies, and Consumer Income series
(P-20, P-23, P-60) combined, $101 per year (sold as a package only); Population Estimates and Projections, (P-25),
$27 per year. Single issues may be ordered separately; ordering information and prices are provided in the Bureau
of the Census Catalog and Guide, the Monthly Product Announcement (MPA), and in Census and You. Selected
reports also may be accessed on the INTERNET at http://www.census.gov/prod/www/subject.html#pop

Geographic Limitations
The CPS sample was selected so that specific reliability criteria were met nationally, for each of the 50 States and
for the District of Columbia. Since 1985, these reliability criteria have been maintained through periodic additions
and deletions in the State samples. Estimates formed for geographic areas identified on the microdata file which are
smaller than states are not as reliable.

2-2

Weights
Under the estimating methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously
and are based on returns for the entire panel of respondents. The CPS estimation procedure involves weighting the
data from each sample person. The base weight, which is the inverse of the probability of the person being in the
sample, is a rough measure of the number of actual persons that the sample person represents. Almost all sample
persons in the same state have the same base weight, but the weights across states are different. Selection
probabilities may also differ for some sample areas due to field subsampling, which is done when areas selected for
the sample contain many more households than expected. The base weights are then adjusted for noninterview, and
the ratio estimation procedure is applied.
1.

Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence,
impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability of the respondent for other reasons. This noninterview
adjustment is made separately for clusters of similar sample areas that are usually, but not necessarily,
contained within a state. Similarity of sample areas is based on Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA) status
and size. Within each cluster, there is a further breakdown by residence. Each CBSA cluster is split by
"principal city" and "balance of the CBSA." The proportion of occupied sample households not
interviewed fluctuates around 8 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.

2.

Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the population as a whole in such characteristics as age, race, sex, and state of
residence. Because these characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation and other
principal measurements made from the sample, the survey estimates can be substantially improved when
weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished
through two stages of ratio adjustment as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. The purpose of the first-stage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution
to variance that results from selecting a sample of PSUs rather than drawing sample households from
every PSU in the nation. This adjustment is made to the CPS weights in two race cells: black and
nonblack; it is applied only to PSUs that are nonself-representing and for those states that have a
substantial number of black households. The procedure corrects for differences that existed in each
state cell at the time of the 2000 census between 1) the race distribution of the population in sample
PSUs and 2) the race distribution of all PSUs (both 1 and 2 exclude self-representing PSUs).
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. This procedure substantially reduces the variability of estimates and
corrects, to some extent, for CPS undercoverage. The CPS sample weights are adjusted to ensure that
sample-based estimates of population match independent population controls. Three sets of controls
are used:
1)

51 state controls of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older

2)

national civilian noninstitutional population controls for 14 hispanic and 5 nonhispanic age-sex
categories

3)

national civilian noninstitutional population controls for 66 white, 42 black, and 10 "other" agesex categories

2-3

The independent population controls are prepared by projecting forward the resident population as
enumerated on April 1, 2000. The projections are derived by updating demographic census data
with information from a variety of other data sources that account for births, deaths, and net
migration. Estimated numbers of resident Armed Forces personnel and institutionalized persons
reduce the resident population to the civilian noninstitutional population. Estimates of net census
undercount, determined from the Post Enumeration Survey, are added to the population
projections. Prior to January 2003, the projections were based on earlier censuses, and prior to
January 1994, there was no correction for census undercount. A summary of the current
procedures used to make population projections is given in “Revisions in the Current Population
Survey Effective January 2003" in the January 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings..

Comparability of CPS From Microdata Files With Published Sources
Although total estimates of the population will equal published estimates, labor force estimates produced from a
microdata file will not be directly comparable or identical with the published nonseasonally adjusted labor force
data. The major reason for this is due to a final estimation procedure incorporated into the production of the
published nonseasonally adjusted data. This procedure, known as a composite estimator, is a weighted average of
two estimates for the current month for any particular item. The first estimate is the two-stage ratio estimate that
includes all the estimation steps given above. The second estimate consists of the composite estimate for the
preceding month to which has been added an estimate of the change from the preceding month, based on that part
of the sample which is common to the two months (about 75 percent). This procedure is primarily used to increase
the reliability of estimates of month-to-month change, although other reliability gains are also realized. As noted
above, the composite estimation procedure does not affect estimates of the total population.
Another factor also inhibits microdata comparison with published labor force data. This is the seasonal adjustment
that is applied to many published statistics. This adjustment is used to adjust for normal seasonal variations to help
distinguish the underlying economic situation in month-to-month changes.
Shown below are data from January and July 1993 which demonstrate how estimates compiled using the final
weights from the microdata file may differ from the published composited estimates, with and without seasonal
adjustment. Note that the composite estimation procedure was not used for estimates published from January 1994
to May 1994. For a further description of both the composite estimator and seasonal adjustment, see "Explanatory
Notes and Estimates of Error: Household Data - Estimating Methods (Composite Estimation Procedure)" and
"Seasonal Adjustment" in any issue of Employment and Earnings.

OVERVIEW
July 2012 Public Participation in the Arts Supplement
General

Census Bureau staff conducted the July 2012 Public Participation in the Arts as a supplement to
that month's Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly labor force survey in
which interviews are conducted in approximately 60,000 households across the Nation.
Attachment 8 contains the July 2012 Public Participation in the Arts supplement questions asked
of all applicable persons 18 years old or older.
Attachment 2 comprises a description of the CPS entitled "Overview--Current Population
Survey."
A description of the July 2012 Public Participation in the Arts Supplement follows.
Data Collection

The Public Participation in the Arts questions were asked of the CPS respondent and another
randomly selected household member aged 18 or older from about one-half the sampled CPS
households. If the selected person had a spouse or partner then questions were also asked of the
spouse/partner. The supplement contained questions about the sampled member’s participation
in various artistic activities from July 2011 through July 2012. Questions were asked about the
type of artistic activity, the frequency of participation, training and exposure, musical and artistic
preferences, school-age socialization, and computer usage related to artistic information. These
topics were separated into a two core sets of questions and five modules. Interviews were
conducted during the period of July 15-21, 2012.
Items asked in the first core section (items C1Q1A-C1Q14B) or second core section (items
C2Q1A-C2Q13B) asked respondents and their spouse/partners if they attended any artistic events
and if so, how often. The first part of Module A (items A1A-A6) asked respondents and their
spouse/partners if they attended any reading, film, or sporting activity, while the second part of
Module A asked respondents about other live performances and music listening preferences.
Module B (B1-B10) asked respondents if they participated (read, listened to, watched on
television, video tape, or video disc, or watch or downloaded from the Internet) any artistic
events, if they watched any artistic events, on what device(s) and how many times in the last 12
months.
Module C (C1-C8A) asked respondents if they participated in certain types of other leisure or
artistic activities (e.g. sports, exercise, gardening, or publicly performed music, act, or danced)
and used a computer, a handheld or mobile device, or the Internet to post or share any of their
activities in the last 12 months.
3-1

Module D (items D1B-D24B) asked respondents and their spouse/partners about their sport
activities (i.e. hunting, outdoor activities), other art activities (i.e. leatherwork, weaving, sewing),
and musical performance activities in the past year.
Module E (items E1A-E10) asked respondents about their art related lessons or classes (i.e.
music, painting, acting, ballet), and if so, how old were they when they took those lessons/classes
and were they offered in school and were they taken in the past year. A set of additional
questions about the respondent’s parent’s education and the participation of the respondent’s
school age children were also asked in Module E.
Data Processing

The data processing involved editing the July Public Participation in the Arts supplement data.
This process is described below.
Edits. The data processing involved a skip pattern edit of all Public Participation in the Arts
supplement items. In addition, age and parent’s education were verified.
The values for each variable are defined in the supplement record layout (Attachment 7).
Weighting. The design of the supplement questionnaire required two weights to be developed.
The supplement weights associated with the July 2012 Public Participation in the Arts
supplement are OWGT, TWGT, SWGT, AWGT, and NWGT. The first weight, PWOWGT,
should be used to create estimates from Core 1. The second, PWTWGT, should be used to create
estimates from Core 2. Modules A1 and D should receive the third weight, PWSWGT. The
fourth weight, PWAWGT, should be used to create estimates from Module A2. Modules B, C,
and E should receive the fifth weight, PWNWGT. All weights were created using the same
weighting procedure but different person selection factors.
Use the following table to determine the weight and factor to apply to each interviewed case
based on the modules and sets of questions being analyzed. Multiply the weight by the module
factor to determine the final weight.

July 2012 CPS Public Participation in the Arts Computer File
CPS Labor Force Data. The July 2012 CPS file contains 151,695 records. Each record
contains 1,642 characters. Attachment 7 contains the variable name, character size, location on
record, universe, and the values of the variables.
The variable PRPERTYP (located in positions 161-162 on the CPS Basic Items Record Layout)
determines the type of person as follows:
PRPERTYP
1 = Child household member (0-14 years old)
2 = Adult civilian household member (15+ years old)
3 = Adult Armed Forces household member (15+ years old)
The variable HRINTSTA (located in positions 57-58 on the CPS Basic Items Record Layout)
determines the interview status of the household.
HRINTSTA
1 = Interview
2 = Type A Noninterview (These records represent households that were eligible for the July
2012 CPS interview, but were not interviewed because no one was home, household
members were temporarily absent, etc.)
3 = Type B Noninterview (These records represent sample addresses determined to be
temporarily ineligible for the CPS by virtue of being vacant, nonresidential, etc. These
households could become eligible for a CPS interview.)
4 = Type C Noninterview (These records represent sample addresses determined to be
ineligible for CPS by virtue of a permanent change such as demolished, condemned,
etc. These addresses will not be visited again for CPS interviews.)
By combining the values of PRPERTYP (1-3) and HRINTSTA (2-4), the number of records can
be determined.
The values of PRPERTYP are:

GLOSSARY
Current Population Survey

Age Age classification is based on the age of the person at his/her last birthday. The adult universe (i.e.,
population of marriageable age) is comprised of persons 15 years and over for CPS labor force data.
Allocation Flag Each edited item has a corresponding allocation flag indicating the nature of the edit. See the
attachment on allocation flags for more information. The second character of the item name is always "X".
Armed Forces Demographic information for Armed Forces members (enumerated in off-base housing or on-base
with their families) is included on the CPS data files. No labor force information is collected of Armed Forces
members in any month. In March, supplemental data on income are included for Armed Forces members. This is
the only month that non-demographic information is included for Armed Forces members.
Civilian Labor Force (See Labor Force.)
Class of Worker This refers to the broad classification of the person's employer. These broad classifications for
current jobs are:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)

Federal government
State government
Local government
Private industry (including self-employed, incorporated)
Self-employed (not incorporated)
Working without pay

Domain The domain for an item is a list or range of its possible values. Note that all unedited items have possible
values of -1 (blank), -2 (don't know), and -3 (refused). Since all items have these possible values, they are not
shown as valid entries for each item.
Duration of Unemployment Duration of unemployment represents the length of time (through the current survey
week) during which persons classified as unemployed are continuously looking for work. For persons on layoff,
duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent
employment. A period of two weeks or more during which a person is employed or ceased looking for work is
considered to break the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Earners, Number of The file includes all persons 15 years old and over in the household with $1 or more in wages
and salaries, or $1 or more of a loss in net income from farm or nonfarm self-employment during the preceding
year.
Edited item An edited item is allocated or imputed by the processing system. In most cases this means allocating
a value where the unedited item contains a value of blank, "don't know", or "refused". The second character of the
item name is always "E".
An edited version of an item exists only if that item is processed through the edits. If the edits never deal with a
particular item, then that item only has an unedited version.

4-1

Since the instrument enforces skip patterns and consistency between many items, the edits are left mainly with the
job of allocating missing values. Also, since an interviewer is allowed to "back up" in the interview, there may be
"off-path" items filled in the unedited data. The edits also blank these off-path items if an edited version of the
items exists.
Education (See Level of School Completed.)
Employed (See Labor Force.)
Family A family is a group of two persons or more (one of whom is the householder) residing together and related
by birth, marriage, or adoption. All such persons (including related subfamily members) are considered as
members of one family. Beginning with the 1980 CPS, unrelated subfamilies (referred to in the past as secondary
families) are no longer included in the count of families, nor are the members of unrelated subfamilies included in
the count of family members.
Family Household A family household is a household maintained by a family (as defined above), and may include
among the household members any unrelated persons (unrelated subfamily members and/or secondary individuals)
who may be residing there. The number of family households is equal to the number of families. The count of
family household members differs from the count of family members, however, in that the family household
members include all persons living in the household, whereas family members include only the householder and
his/her relatives. (See the definition of Family).
Family Weight This weight is used only for tallying family characteristics. In March, the weight on the family
record is the March supplement weight of the householder or reference person.
Final Weight Used in tabulating labor force items in all months, including March. The final weight is controlled
to independent estimates for:
1) States
2) Origin, Sex, and Age
3) Age, Race, and Sex
This weight should not be used when tabulating March supplement data.
Full-Time Worker Persons on full-time schedules include persons working 35 hours or more, persons who worked
1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons (e.g., illness) and usually work full-time, and persons "with a job but not at
work" who usually work full-time.
Group Quarters Group quarters are noninstitutional living arrangements for groups not living in conventional
housing units or groups living in housing units containing nine or more persons unrelated to the person in charge.
Head Versus Householder Beginning with the March 1980 CPS, the Bureau of the Census discontinued the use
of the terms "head of household" and "head of family." Instead, the terms "householder" and "family householder"
are used.
Highest Grade of School Attended (See Level of School Completed.)
Hispanic/Non-Hispanic Origin A person’s Hispanic/Non-Hispanic status in this file is determined on the basis of
a question that simply asks “(Is/Are) (Name/you) Hispanic?”

4-2

Hours of Work Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of hours worked during the survey week. For
example, a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who is off on the Veterans Day holiday is reported as
working 32 hours even though he is paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures related to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Household A household consists of all the persons who occupy a house, an apartment, or other group of rooms, or
a room, which constitutes a housing unit. A group of rooms or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when it
is occupied as separate living quarters; that is, when the occupants do not live with any other person in the
structure, and when there is direct access from the outside or through a common hall. The count of households
excludes persons living in group quarters, such as military barracks and institutions. Inmates of institutions (mental
hospitals, rest homes, correctional institutions, etc.) are not included in the survey.
Household Weight The household weight is used for tallying household characteristics. In March, the household
weight is the March Supplement weight of the householder.
Householder The householder refers to the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is
owned or rented (maintained) or, if there is no such person, any adult member, excluding roomers, boarders, or paid
employees. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either the husband
or the wife. The person designated as the householder is the "reference person" to whom the relationship of all
other household members, if any, is recorded.
Householder With No Other Relatives in Household A householder who has no relatives living in the
household. This is the entry for a person living alone. Another example is the designated householder of an
apartment shared by two or more unrelated individuals.
Householder With Other Relatives (Including Spouse) in Household The person designated as householder if
he/she has one or more relatives (including spouse) living in the household.
Industry, Occupation, and Class of Worker (I&O) Current Job (basic data) For the employed, current job is
the job held in the reference week (the week before the survey). Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the
job at which they worked the most hours during the reference week. The unemployed are classified according to
their latest full-time job lasting two or more weeks or by the job (either full-time or part-time). The I & O questions
are also asked of persons not in the labor force who are in the fourth and eighth months in sample and who have
worked in the last five years.
Job Seekers All unemployed persons who made specific efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week period
preceding the survey week.
Longitudinal Weight Used for gross flows analysis. Only found on adult records matched from month to month.
PEMLR (Major Labor Force Recode) This classification is available for each civilian 15 years old and over
according to his/her responses to the monthly (basic) labor force items.

4-3

Labor Force Persons are classified as in the labor force if they are employed, unemployed, or in the Armed Forces
during the survey week. The "civilian labor force" includes all civilians classified as employed or unemployed.
The file includes labor force data for civilians age 15 and over. However, the official definition of the civilian labor
force is age 16 and over.
1. Employed
Employed persons comprise (1) all civilians who, during the survey week, do any work at all as paid
employees or in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who work 15 hours or more
as unpaid workers on a farm in a business operated by a member of the family; and (2) all those who
have jobs but who are not working because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management
dispute, or because they are taking time off for personal reasons, whether or not they are seeking other
jobs. These persons would have a Monthly Labor Force Recode (MLR) of 1 or 2 respectively in
characters 180-181 of the person record which designates "at work" and "with a job, but not at work."
Each employed person is counted only once. Those persons who held more than one job are counted in
the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. If they worked an
equal number of hours at more than one job, they are counted at the job they held the longest.
2. Unemployed
Unemployed persons are those civilians who, during the survey week, have no employment but are
available for work, and (1) have engaged in any specific job seeking activity within the past 4 weeks
such as registering at a public or private employment office, meeting with prospective employers,
checking with friends or relatives, placing or answering advertisements, writing letters of application, or
being on a union or professional register; (2) are waiting to be called back to a job from which they had
been laid off; or (3) are waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days. These persons
would have an MLR code of 3 or 4 in characters 180-181 of the person record. The unemployed
includes job leavers, job losers, new job entrants, and job reentrants.
a.

Job Leavers
Persons who quit or otherwise terminate their employment voluntarily and immediately begin
looking for work.

b.

Job Losers
Persons whose employment ends involuntarily, who immediately begin looking for work, and
those persons who are already on layoff.

c.

New Job Entrants
Persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting two weeks or longer.

d.

Job Reentrants
Persons who previously worked at a full-time job lasting two weeks or longer but are out of the
labor force prior to beginning to look for work.

4-4

Finally, it should be noted that the unemployment rate represents the number of persons unemployed as
a percent of the civilian labor force 16 years old and over. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital status, race, etc. The job loser, job leaver,
reentrant, and new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian labor force 16 years old
and over; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals the total unemployment rate.
3. Not in Labor Force
All civilians 15 years old and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons
are further classified by major activity: retired, unable to work because of long-term physical or mental
illness, and other. The "other" group includes, for the most part, students and persons keeping house.
Persons who report doing unpaid work in a family farm or business for less than 15 hours are also
classified as not in the labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again,
desire for a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are asked only in those
households that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those
which had been in the sample for three previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month.
Persons classified as NILF have an MLR code of 5-7 in characters 180-181 of the person record.
Layoff A person who is unemployed but expects to be called back to a specific job. If he/she expects to be called
back within 30 days, it is considered a temporary layoff; otherwise, it is an indefinite layoff.
Level of School Completed/Degree Received These data changed beginning with the January 1992 file. A new
question, "What is the highest level of school ... has completed or the highest degree ... has received?" replaced the
old "Highest grade attended" and "Year completed" questions. The new question provides more accurate data on
the degree status of college students. Educational attainment applies only to progress in "regular" school. Such
schools include graded public, private, and parochial elementary and high schools (both junior and senior high),
colleges, universities, and professional schools, whether day schools or night schools. Thus, regular schooling is
that which may advance a person toward an elementary school certificate or high school diploma, or a college,
university, or professional school degree. Schooling in other than regular schools is counted only if the credits
obtained are regarded as transferable to a school in the regular school system.
Looking for Work A person who is trying to get work or trying to establish a business or profession.
Marital Status The marital status classification identifies four major categories: single (never married), married,
widowed, and divorced. These terms refer to the marital status at the time of enumeration.
The category "married" is further divided into "married, civilian spouse present," "married, Armed Force spouse
present," "married, spouse absent," "married, Armed Force spouse absent," and "separated." A person is classified
as "married, spouse present" if the husband or wife is reported as a member of the household even though he or she
may be temporarily absent on business or on vacation, visiting, in a hospital, etc., at the time of the enumeration.
Persons reported as "separated" included those with legal separations, those living apart with intentions of obtaining
a divorce, and other persons permanently or temporarily estranged from their spouses because of marital discord.
For the purpose of this file, the group "other marital status" includes "widowed and divorced," "separated," and
"other married, spouse absent."
Month-In-Sample The term is defined as the number of times a unit is interviewed. Each unit is interviewed eight
times during the life of the sample.

4-5

Never Worked A person who has never held a full-time civilian job lasting two consecutive weeks or more.
Nonfamily Householder A nonfamily householder (formerly called a primary individual) is a person maintaining
a household while living alone or with nonrelatives only.
Nonworker A person who does not do any work in the calendar year preceding the survey.
Nonrelative of Householder With No Own Relatives in Household A nonrelative of the householder who has no
relative(s) of his own in the household. This category includes such nonrelatives as a foster child, a ward, a lodger,
a servant, or a hired hand, who has no relatives of his own living with him in the household.
Nonrelative of Householder With Own Relatives (Including Spouse)in Household Any household member who
is not related to the householder but has relatives of his own in the household; for example, a lodger, his spouse,
and their son.
Other Relative of Householder Any relative of the householder other than his spouse or child; for example,
father, mother, grandson, daughter-in-law, etc.
Out Variable An instrument-created item that stores the results of another item.
Own Child A child related by birth, marriage, or adoption to the family householder.
Part-Time, Economic Reasons The item includes slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment,
start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work. (See also Full-Time Worker.)
Part-Time, Other Reasons The item includes labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home
housework, school, no desire for full-time work, and full-time worker only during peak season.
Part-Time Work Persons who work between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part-time" in the current
job held during the reference week. For the March supplement, a person is classified as having worked part-time
during the preceding calendar year if he worked less than 35 hours per week in a majority of the weeks in which he
worked during the year. Conversely, he is classified as having worked full-time if he worked 35 hours or more per
week during a majority of the weeks in which he worked.
Part-Year Work Part-year work is classified as less than 50 weeks' work.
Population Coverage Population coverage includes the civilian population of the United States plus
approximately one million members of the Armed Forces in the United States living off post or with their families
on post but excludes all other members of the Armed Forces. This file excludes inmates of institutions. The labor
force and work experience data are not collected for Armed Forces members.
Processing Recode An item calculated by the processing system from a combination of other items in the
database. The second character of the item name is always "R".
Race The population is divided into six groups on the basis of race: White, Black or African American, American
Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and Other races. The 2011 CPS uses
the Census 2010 question on race that allows for more than one race reporting, but does not include the Census
2010 "Some Other Race" category.
Reentrants Persons who previously worked at a full-time job lasting two weeks or longer, but who are out of the
labor force prior to beginning to look for work.

4-6

Related Children Related children in a family include own children and all other children in the household who
are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. For each type of family unit identified in the CPS,
the count of own children under 18 years old is limited to single (never married) children; however, "own children
under 25" and "own children of any age," include all children regardless of marital status. The totals include nevermarried children living away from home in college dormitories.
Related Subfamily A related subfamily is a married couple with or without children, or one parent with one or
more own single (never married) children under 18 years old, living in a household and related to, but not
including, the householder or spouse. The most common example of a related subfamily is a young married couple
sharing the home of the husband's or wife's parents. The number of related subfamilies is not included in the
number of families.
School, Major Activity A person who spent most of his time during the survey week attending any kind of public
or private school, including trade or vocational schools in which students receive no compensation in money or
kind.
Secondary Individual A secondary individual is a person in a household or group quarters such as a guest, roomer,
boarder, or resident employee (excluding nonfamily households and inmates of institutions) who is not related to
any other person in the household or group quarters.
Self-Employed Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their own business, profession or
trade, or operate a farm.
Stretches of Unemployment A continuous stretch is one that is not interrupted by the person getting a job or
leaving the labor market to go to school, to keep house, etc. A period of two weeks or more during which a person
is employed or ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity of the period of seeking work.
Unable to Work A person is classified as unable to work because of long-term physical or mental illness, lasting
six months or longer.
Unedited item An item that is produced by the computer automated instrument, either collected during the
interview or created by the instrument. The second character of the item name is always "U".
Unemployed (See Labor Force.)
Unpaid Family Workers Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on
a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom they are related by birth or marriage.
Unrelated Individuals Unrelated individuals are persons of any age (other than inmates of institutions) who are
not living with any relatives. An unrelated individual may be (1) a nonfamily householder living alone or with
nonrelatives only, (2) a roomer, boarder, or resident employee with no relatives in the household, or (3) a group
quarters member who has no relatives living with him/her. Thus, a widow who occupies her house alone or with
one or more other persons not related to her, a roomer not related to anyone else in the housing unit, a maid living
as a member of her employer's household but with no relatives in the household, and a resident staff member in a
hospital living apart from any relatives are all examples of unrelated individuals.
Unrelated Subfamily An unrelated subfamily is a family that does not include among its members the householder
and relatives of the householder. Members of unrelated subfamilies may include persons such as guests, roomers,
boarders, or resident employees and their relatives living in a household. The number of unrelated subfamily
members is included in the number of household members but is not included in the count of family members.

4-7

Persons living with relatives in group quarters were formerly considered as members of families. However, the
number of such unrelated subfamilies became so small (37,000 in 1967) that beginning with the data for 1968 (and
beginning with the census data for 1960) the Bureau of the Census includes persons in these unrelated subfamilies
in the count of secondary individuals.
Veteran Status If a person served at any time during the four most recent wartime periods, the codes for all periods
of service are entered. A person can report up to 4 periods of service. The following codes are used:
0

a private employer or from a governmental unit. Also included are persons who are self-employed in an
incorporated business.

worked without pay on a family-operated farm or business at any time during the year, on a part-time or full-time
basis.
Year-Round Full-Time Worker A year-round full-time worker is one who usually worked 35 hours or more per
week for 50 weeks or more during the preceding calendar year.

HOW TO USE THE RECORD LAYOUT

Data users familiar with the CPS data files in prior years will see many similarities between the
format of this file and those files released before January 1994. As in the past, there are numeric
locations on the file which correspond to each variable. There is only one record layout which
contains the variables for children, adults, and armed forces members. In prior years, each type
of person had a separate record layout.
Item Naming Conventions
⊄

The first character of each variable name is one of the following:
H - Household item
G - Geography item
* P - Person item (includes adult items, child items, and armed forces items)
* There is no need to distinguish adult, child, and armed forces items in the variable
names in the new system. The recode PRPERTYP (located in positions 161-162) tells
you what category the person is in.

⊄

The second character of each variable name is one of the following:
E
U
X
W
R

-

Edited item
Unedited item
Allocation flag (see Attachment 15 for more information)

Recode

⊄

The remaining characters describe the variable.

⊄

For multiple entry items, the file contains a separate variable for each possible response.
Each item has the same descriptive name but a number is added as the last digit. For
example, Question 22A allows separate entries for up to 6 job search methods. The item
names are PELKM1 (this item is edited), PULKM2, (this item is unedited), PULKM3, etc.
These items are located in positions 296-307 of the record layout.

Topcoding of Usual Hourly Earnings
This variable will be topcoded based on an individual’s usual hours worked variable, if the
individual’s edited usual weekly earnings variable is $999. The topcode is computed such that the
product of usual hours times usual hourly wage does not exceed an annualized wage of $150,000
($2,885.00 per week). Below is a list of the appropriate topcode.

Source of the Data and Accuracy of the Estimates for the
July 2012 CPS Microdata File on Public Participation in the Arts
SOURCE OF THE DATA
The data in this microdata file are from the July 2012 Current Population Survey (CPS). The
U.S. Census Bureau conducts the CPS every month, although this file has only July 2012 data.
The July 2012 survey uses two sets of questions, the basic CPS and a set of supplemental
questions. The CPS, sponsored jointly by the Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, is the country’s primary source of labor force statistics for the entire population. The
National Endowment of the Arts sponsored the supplemental questions for July 2012.
Basic CPS. The monthly CPS collects primarily labor force data about the civilian
noninstitutional population living in the United States. The institutionalized population, which is
excluded from the population universe, is composed primarily of the population in correctional
institutions and nursing homes (98 percent of the 4 million institutionalized people in Census
2010). Interviewers ask questions concerning labor force participation about each member 15
years old and over in sample households. Typically, the week containing the nineteenth of the
month is the interview week. The week containing the twelfth is the reference week (i.e., the
week about which the labor force questions are asked).
The CPS uses a multistage probability sample based on the results of the decennial census, with
coverage in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The sample is continually updated to
account for new residential construction. When files from the most recent decennial census
become available, the Census Bureau gradually introduces a new sample design for the CPS.
In April 2004, the Census Bureau began phasing out the 1990 sample 1 and replacing it with the
2000 sample, creating a mixed sampling frame. Two simultaneous changes occurred during this
phase-in period. First, primary sampling units (PSUs) 2 selected for only the 2000 design
gradually replaced those selected for the 1990 design. This involved 10 percent of the sample.
Second, for PSUs selected for both designs, sample households from the 2000 design gradually
replaced sample households from the 1990 design. This involved about 90 percent of the
sample. The new sample design was completely implemented by July 2005.
In the first stage of the sampling process, PSUs are selected for sample. The United States is
divided into 2,025 PSUs. The PSUs were redefined for this design to correspond to the Office of
Management and Budget definitions of Core-Based Statistical Area definitions and to improve
efficiency in field operations. These PSUs are grouped into 824 strata. Within each stratum, a
single PSU is chosen for the sample, with its probability of selection proportional to its

For detailed information on the 1990 sample redesign, please see reference [1].

The PSUs correspond to substate areas (i.e., counties or groups of counties) that are geographically contiguous.

population as of the most recent decennial census. This PSU represents the entire stratum from
which it was selected. In the case of strata consisting of only one PSU, the PSU is chosen with
certainty.
Approximately 72,000 housing units were selected for sample from the sampling frame in July
2012. Based on eligibility criteria, 11 percent of these housing units were sent directly to
computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). The remaining units were assigned to
interviewers for computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). 3 Of all housing units in
sample, about 59,000 were determined to be eligible for interview. Interviewers obtained
interviews at about 54,000 of these units. Noninterviews occur when the occupants are not
found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for some other reason.
July 2012 Supplement. In July 2012, in addition to the basic CPS questions, interviewers asked
supplementary questions on public participation in the arts of two randomly selected household
members aged 18 or older from about one-half the sampled CPS households. If the selected
person had a spouse or partner then questions were also asked of their spouse/partner. The
supplement contained questions about the sampled member’s participation in various artistic
activities from July 1, 2011 to July 1, 2012. It asked about the type of artistic activity, the
frequency of participation, training and exposure, musical and artistic preferences, school-age
socialization, and computer usage related to artistic information. These topics were separated
into two core sets of questions and five modules. Interviews were conducted during the period
of July 15-21, 2012.
CPS Estimation Procedure. This survey’s estimation procedure adjusts weighted sample
results to agree with independently derived population estimates of the civilian noninstitutional
population of the United States and each state (including the District of Columbia). These
population estimates, used as controls for the CPS, are prepared monthly to agree with the most
current set of population estimates that are released as part of the Census Bureau’s population
estimates and projections program.
The population controls for the nation are distributed by demographic characteristics in two
ways:
•
•

Age, sex, and race (White alone, Black alone, and all other groups combined).
Age, sex, and Hispanic origin.

The population controls for the states are distributed by race (Black alone and all other race
groups combined), age (0-15, 16-44, and 45 and over), and sex.
The independent estimates by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin, and for states by selected age
groups and broad race categories, are developed using the basic demographic accounting formula
whereby the population from the latest decennial data is updated using data on the components

3

For further information on CATI and CAPI and the eligibility criteria, please see reference [2].

16-2

of population change (births, deaths, and net international migration) with net internal migration
as an additional component in the state population estimates.
The net international migration component in the population estimates includes a combination of
the following:
• Net international migration of the foreign born;
• Net migration between the United States and Puerto Rico;
• Net migration of natives to and from the United States; and
• Net movement of the Armed Forces population to and from the United States.
Because the latest available information on these components lags the survey date, it is necessary
to make short-term projections of these components to develop the estimate for the survey date.
PPA Estimation Procedure. The PPA adjusts weighted sample results to agree with the same
independently derived population estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population of the
United States as the CPS. However, the age groups were modified to include only those who are
18 years old or older.
The questionnaire modules and core questions were assigned to households so that half of the
sample would receive each core and 40% would receive each module.
Each sampled person receives up to four of five produced weights for the PPA survey depending
on the modules asked. There is a weight for each of Core 1 questions; Core 2 questions;
Modules A1 and D; Module A2; and Modules B, C, and E. 4 The first weight, PWOWGT,
should be used to create estimates from Core 1. The second, PWTWGT, should be used to
create estimates from Core 2. Modules A1 and D should receive the third weight, PWSWGT.
The fourth weight, PWAWGT, should be used to create estimates from Module A2. Modules B,
C, and E should receive the fifth weight, PWNWGT. All weights were created using the same
weighting procedure but different person selection factors.
To account for the assignment of modules to a portion of the respondents, the data user must
apply a module factor to determine the final weight. The value of the factor is based on the
analysis the data user is conducting. Table 1 provides the factors for each module or
combination of modules (cross analysis of variables from two modules). These factors are
determined by summing the proportion of cases that were asked the module or combination of
modules of interest. The factor is the inverse of the proportion of cases receiving the module or
combination of modules.

Module A1 refers to question 1-4 in Module A, which were asked of respondent and spouse. Module A2 refers to
question 5-8 in Module A, which were asked of respondent only.

ACCURACY OF THE ESTIMATES
A sample survey estimate has two types of error: sampling and nonsampling. The accuracy of an
estimate depends on both types of error. The nature of the sampling error is known given the
survey design; the full extent of the nonsampling error is unknown.
Sampling Error. Since the CPS estimates come from a sample, they may differ from figures
from an enumeration of the entire population using the same questionnaires, instructions, and
enumerators. For a given estimator, the difference between an estimate based on a sample and
the estimate that would result if the sample were to include the entire population is known as
sampling error. Standard errors, as calculated by methods described in “Standard Errors and
Their Use,” are primarily measures of the magnitude of sampling error. However, they may
include some nonsampling error.
Nonsampling Error. For a given estimator, the difference between the estimate that would
result if the sample were to include the entire population and the true population value being
estimated is known as nonsampling error. There are several sources of nonsampling error that
may occur during the development or execution of the survey. It can occur because of
circumstances created by the interviewer, the respondent, the survey instrument, or the way the
data are collected and processed. For example, errors could occur because:

The interviewer records the wrong answer, the respondent provides incorrect
information, the respondent estimates the requested information, or an unclear
survey question is misunderstood by the respondent (measurement error).
Some individuals that should have been included in the survey frame were missed
(coverage error).
Responses are not collected from all those in the sample or the respondent is
unwilling to provide information (nonresponse error).
Values are estimated imprecisely for missing data (imputation error).
Forms may be lost, data may be incorrectly keyed, coded, or recoded, etc.
(processing error).

To minimize these errors, the Census Bureau applies quality control procedures during all stages
of the production process including the design of the survey, the wording of questions, the
review of the work of interviewers and coders, and the statistical review of reports.

Two types of nonsampling error that can be examined to a limited extent are nonresponse and
undercoverage.
Nonresponse. The effect of nonresponse cannot be measured directly, but one indication of its
potential effect is the nonresponse rate. For the July 2012 basic CPS, the household-level
nonresponse rate was 9.3 percent. The person-level nonresponse rate for the Public Participation
in the Arts supplement was an additional 25.2 percent.
Since the basic CPS nonresponse rate is a household-level rate and the Public Participation in the
Arts supplement nonresponse rate is a person-level rate, we cannot combine these rates to derive
an overall nonresponse rate. Nonresponding households may have fewer persons than
interviewed ones, so combining these rates may lead to an overestimate of the true overall
nonresponse rate for persons for the Public Participation in the Arts supplement.
Coverage. The concept of coverage in the survey sampling process is the extent to which the
total population that could be selected for sample “covers” the survey’s target population.
Missed housing units and missed people within sample households create undercoverage in the
CPS. Overall CPS undercoverage for July 2012 is estimated to be about 14 percent. CPS
coverage varies with age, sex, and race. Generally, coverage is larger for females than for males
and larger for non-Blacks than for Blacks. This differential coverage is a general problem for
most household-based surveys.
The CPS weighting procedure partially corrects for bias from undercoverage, but biases may still
be present when people who are missed by the survey differ from those interviewed in ways
other than age, race, sex, Hispanic origin, and state of residence. How this weighting procedure
affects other variables in the survey is not precisely known. All of these considerations affect
comparisons across different surveys or data sources.
A common measure of survey coverage is the coverage ratio, calculated as the estimated
population before poststratification divided by the independent population control. Table 2
shows July 2012 CPS coverage ratios by age and sex for certain race and Hispanic groups. The
CPS coverage ratios can exhibit some variability from month to month.

Notes: (1) The Residual race group includes cases indicating a single race other than White or Black,
and cases indicating two or more races.
(2) Hispanics may be any race. For a more detailed discussion on the use of parameters for
race and ethnicity, please see the “Generalized Variance Parameters” section.

Comparability of Data. Data obtained from the CPS and other sources are not entirely
comparable. This results from differences in interviewer training and experience and in differing
survey processes. This is an example of nonsampling variability not reflected in the standard
errors. Therefore, caution should be used when comparing results from different sources.
Data users should be careful when comparing the data from this microdata file, which reflects
Census 2010-based controls, with microdata files from January 2003 through December 2011,
which reflect 2000 census-based controls. Ideally, the same population controls should be used
when comparing any estimates. In reality, the use of the same population controls is not
practical when comparing trend data over a period of 10 to 20 years. Thus, when it is necessary
to combine or compare data based on different controls or different designs, data users should be
aware that changes in weighting controls or weighting procedures can create small differences
between estimates. See the discussion following for information on comparing estimates derived
from different controls or different sample designs.
Microdata files from previous years reflect the latest available census-based controls. Although
the most recent change in population controls had relatively little impact on summary measures
such as averages, medians, and percentage distributions, it did have a significant impact on
levels. For example, use of Census 2010-based controls results in about a 0.2 percent increase
from the 2000 census-based controls in the civilian noninstitutional population and in the number
of families and households. Thus, estimates of levels for data collected in 2012 and later years
will differ from those for earlier years by more than what could be attributed to actual changes in
the population. These differences could be disproportionately greater for certain population
subgroups than for the total population.

16-6

Users should also exercise caution because of changes caused by the phase-in of the Census
2000 files (see “Basic CPS”). During this time period, CPS data were collected from sample
designs based on different censuses. Three features of the new CPS design have the potential of
affecting published estimates: (1) the temporary disruption of the rotation pattern from August
2004 through June 2005 for a comparatively small portion of the sample, (2) the change in
sample areas, and (3) the introduction of the new Core-Based Statistical Areas (formerly called
metropolitan areas). Most of the known effect on estimates during and after the sample redesign
will be the result of changing from 1990 to 2000 geographic definitions. Research has shown
that the national-level estimates of the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan populations should not
change appreciably because of the new sample design. However, users should still exercise
caution when comparing metropolitan and nonmetropolitan estimates across years with a design
change, especially at the state level.
Caution should also be used when comparing Hispanic estimates over time. No independent
population control totals for people of Hispanic origin were used before 1985.
A Nonsampling Error Warning. Since the full extent of the nonsampling error is unknown,
one should be particularly careful when interpreting results based on small differences between
estimates. The Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate information about
nonsampling errors into their analyses, as nonsampling error could impact the conclusions drawn
from the results. Caution should also be used when interpreting results based on a relatively
small number of cases. Summary measures (such as medians and percentage distributions)
probably do not reveal useful information when computed on a subpopulation smaller than
75,000.
For additional information on nonsampling error including the possible impact on CPS
data when known, refer to references [2] and [3].
Standard Errors and Their Use. The sample estimate and its standard error enable one to
construct a confidence interval. A confidence interval is a range about a given estimate that has
a specified probability of containing the average result of all possible samples. For example, if
all possible samples were surveyed under essentially the same general conditions and using the
same sample design, and if an estimate and its standard error were calculated from each sample,
then approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.645 standard errors below the estimate to
1.645 standard errors above the estimate would include the average result of all possible samples.
A particular confidence interval may or may not contain the average estimate derived from all
possible samples, but one can say with specified confidence that the interval includes the average
estimate calculated from all possible samples.
Standard errors may also be used to perform hypothesis testing, a procedure for distinguishing
between population parameters using sample estimates. The most common type of hypothesis is
that the population parameters are different. An example of this would be comparing the
percentage of men who were part-time workers to the percentage of women who were part-time
workers.
16-7

Tests may be performed at various levels of significance. A significance level is the probability
of concluding that the characteristics are different when, in fact, they are the same. For example,
to conclude that two characteristics are different at the 0.10 level of significance, the absolute
value of the estimated difference between characteristics must be greater than or equal to 1.645
times the standard error of the difference.
The Census Bureau uses 90-percent confidence intervals and 0.10 levels of significance to
determine statistical validity. Consult standard statistical textbooks for alternative criteria.
Estimating Standard Errors. The Census Bureau uses replication methods to estimate the
standard errors of CPS estimates. These methods primarily measure the magnitude of sampling
error. However, they do measure some effects of nonsampling error as well. They do not
measure systematic biases in the data associated with nonsampling error. Bias is the average
over all possible samples of the differences between the sample estimates and the true value.
Generalized Variance Parameters. While it is possible to compute and present an estimate of
the standard error based on the survey data for each estimate in a report, there are a number of
reasons why this is not done. A presentation of the individual standard errors would be of
limited use, since one could not possibly predict all of the combinations of results that may be of
interest to data users. Additionally, data users have access to CPS microdata files, and it is
impossible to compute in advance the standard error for every estimate one might obtain from
those data sets. Moreover, variance estimates are based on sample data and have variances of
their own. Therefore, some methods of stabilizing these estimates of variance, for example, by
generalizing or averaging over time, may be used to improve their reliability.
Experience has shown that certain groups of estimates have similar relationships between their
variances and expected values. Modeling or generalizing may provide more stable variance
estimates by taking advantage of these similarities. The generalized variance function is a
simple model that expresses the variance as a function of the expected value of the survey
estimate. The parameters of the generalized variance function are estimated using direct
replicate variances. These generalized variance parameters provide a relatively easy method to
obtain approximate standard errors for numerous characteristics. In this source and accuracy
statement, Table 4 provides the generalized variance parameters for labor force estimates, and
Table 5 provides generalized variance parameters for characteristics from the July 2012 Public
Participation in the Arts supplement.
The basic CPS questionnaire records the race and ethnicity of each respondent. With respect to
race, a respondent can be White, Black, Asian, American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN),
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI), or combinations of two or more of the
preceding. A respondent’s ethnicity can be Hispanic or non-Hispanic, regardless of race.
The generalized variance parameters to use in computing standard errors are dependent upon the
race/ethnicity group of interest. The following table summarizes the relationship between the
race/ethnicity group of interest and the generalized variance parameters to use in standard error
calculations for the basic CPS. For PPAS, the race/ethnicity parameters are given in Table 5.

Standard Errors of Estimated Numbers. The approximate standard error, s x , of an estimated
number from this microdata file can be obtained by using the formula:
s x = ax 2 + bx

(1)

Here x is the size of the estimate and a and b are the parameters in Table 4 or 5 associated with
the particular type of characteristic. When calculating standard errors from cross-tabulations
involving different characteristics, use the set of parameters for the characteristic that will give
the largest standard error.
Illustration 1
Suppose there were 6,863,000 unemployed men (ages 16 and up) in the civilian labor force. Use
the appropriate parameters from Table 4 and Formula (1) to get

16-9

The standard error is calculated as
s x = − 0.000032×6,863,000 2 + 2,971×6,863,000 = 137,000

The 90-percent confidence interval is calculated as 6,863,000 ± 1.645 × 137,000.
A conclusion that the average estimate derived from all possible samples lies within a range
computed in this way would be correct for roughly 90 percent of all possible samples.
Standard Errors of Estimated Percentages and Ratios. The reliability of an estimated
percentage or ratio using sample data depends on the size of both the numerator, x, and
denominator, y. This section presents two equations to calculate standard errors of estimated
percentages and ratios. The first equation is simplified and can be used for most percentage
estimates; the second equation can be used for all percentage and ratio estimates but is more
complex. Use the following questions to determine if the simplified equation can be used to
calculate the standard error of a percentage:
1) Do both the numerator and denominator use the same parameters from Table 4 or 5?
2) Is the denominator a CPS population control - a total by race/ethnicity (excluding the group
self-classified as having two or more races), sex, or age group, or state? See “CPS Estimation
Procedure” for more information on the specific CPS population controls and “PPAS Estimation
Procedure” for more information on the specific PPAS population controls.
If the answer to either question is yes, then use the following simplified formula to find the
approximate standard error, s y,p , of the estimated percentage p:
s y,p =

b
p(100 − p)
y

Here y is the total number of people, families, households, or unrelated individuals in the
denominator of the percentage, p is the percentage, and b is the parameter in Table 4 or 5
associated with the characteristic in the numerator of the percentage.
If the answer to both questions is no, or the estimate is not a percentage, compute the standard
error of the ratio using

(3)

The standard error of the numerator, s x , and that of the denominator, s y , may be calculated using
standard error formulas described in this document. In Formula (3), r represents the correlation
between the numerator and the denominator of the estimate. If r has not been previously
calculated for a specific estimate, consider the type of ratio being estimated. For ratios where the
numerator is a subset of the denominator use

r=

x ⋅sy

(4)

y ⋅ sx

For ratios where the denominator is a count of families or households and the numerator is a
count of people in those families or households with a certain characteristic and there is at least
one person with the characteristic in every family or household, use 0.7 as an estimate of r. An
example of this type is the average number of children per family with children. For all other
types of ratios, r is assumed to be zero. Examples are the average number of children per family.
If r is actually positive (negative), then this procedure will provide an overestimate
(underestimate) of the standard error of the ratio.
NOTE: For estimates expressed as the ratio of x per 100 y or x per 1,000 y, multiply Formula (3)
by 100 or 1,000, respectively, to obtain the standard error.
Illustration 2
Suppose there were 121,882,000 women aged 18 and over, and 9.9 percent indicate they listen to
jazz. Use the appropriate parameter from Table 5 and Formula (2), since the denominator in this
percentage is treated as a CPS population control, to get

Suppose that the number of unemployed males was 6,863,000 and the total number unemployed

and the 90-percent confidence interval is calculated as 0.50± 1.645 × 0.007.
Standard Errors of Estimated Differences. The standard error of the difference between two
sample estimates is approximately equal to
2

s x1 − x2 = s x1 + s x2

(3)

where s x1 and s x2 are the standard errors of the estimates, x 1 and x 2 . The estimates can be
numbers, percentages, ratios, etc. This will result in accurate estimates of the standard error of
the same characteristic in two different areas, or for the difference between separate and
uncorrelated characteristics in the same area. However, if there is a high positive (negative)
correlation between the two characteristics, the formula will overestimate (underestimate) the
true standard error.

Since this interval does not include zero, we can conclude with 90 percent confidence that the
percentage of people with some college or associate degree who attended a live opera is greater
than the percentage of people with a high school diploma who attended a live opera.
Standard Errors for Cross-Module Analysis. The standard errors of estimates from crossmodule analysis may be obtained by determining new a and b parameters and using these
adjusted parameters in the standard error formulas mentioned previously. To determine a new
cross-module b parameter, multiply the Core b parameter from Table 5 by the factor provided in
Table 1. For example, the cross-module factor to apply to tables weighted by PWSWGT and
PWNWGT is 3.9375.
To determine the new a parameter, use the following formula:

a cross−module =

− bcross−module
POPitem

where POP item is the population found in Table 5.
