Why The NLS Counts
“The National Longitudinal Surveys stand
out because they are designed to answer
key long-term questions about people’s
paths through life.
The survey doesn’t just ask about labor
market activity. It also asks about education,
training, health, marriages and other
relationships, children, use of government
programs, juvenile crimes and arrests, drug
and alcohol use, and much more. Why do
we ask about these topics, some of which
are pretty sensitive? In short, we’re trying
to understand all the things that affect or
are affected by labor market activity. That
covers nearly every part of our lives.
This is all possible thanks to the people
who have agreed to participate in the
surveys across many years—so that we can
understand people’s paths over time!”
