Accuracy of Data for Employment Status as Measured by the CPS Census 2000 Match
Accuracy of Data for Employment Status as Measured by the CPS Census 2000 Match
Introduction
This report presents the results of an exact-match study that used the Current Population Survey-Census 2000 Match to evaluate the labor force data in Census 2000 by making estimates of their content error, which refers to the accuracy of the data, as opposed to coverage error, which refers to how completely people and housing units are counted. The report describes the methods used to create the file for the Current Population Survey-Census 2000 Match and how the Match data were used to measure levels of content error.
