Comparisons of ACS-CPS Data on Industry, Occupation, and Class of Worker: 2003
Comparisons of ACS-CPS Data on Industry, Occupation, and Class of Worker: 2003
Introduction
This report is one in a series that compares data from the American Community Survey (ACS) with data from the Current Population Survey (CPS). This report focuses on comparisons of national distributions of industry, occupation, and class of worker data between the 2003 ACS and the 2003 CPS. 1 In this analysis, we compare the 2003 ACS and 2003 CPS distributions, look for differences that are both statistically and substantively different, a nd for those found, offer possible explanations. The 2003 ACS did not sample the group quarters population, while the 2003 CPS includes information obtained from interviews with residents sampled from non - institutional group quarters, such as college dormi tories, emergency and transitional shelters, and group homes. Therefore, the analysis universe contains both household and group quarters population, though group quarters housing units account for less than 1 percent of the CPS sample. 2 This variation in universes may be minimized because this report focuses on national percentage distributions.
