Using administrative records in survey operations can potentially improve data accuracy and survey operations. In this study, we link administrative data on earnings from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) dataset to the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) to understand the alignment of this administrative records information with respondent collected data. Around 50 percent of linked individuals report earnings in the NSCG that are within ten percent of their LEHD earnings. Large disagreement between linked values appears to be prevalent among high-earning individuals and demonstrates some association with characteristics of low labor market attachment such as part time status and retirement age.
