Summary:

This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey on the topic of Veterans in the United States, which was administered as a supplement to the August CPS questionnaire. The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the survey. All veterans aged 17 or older received questions from the Veterans Supplement, which provides estimates on the demographic and labor force characteristics of veterans who have a service-connected disability in comparison to all other veterans. The data also identifies Vietnam theater veterans: those who actually served in Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia. Estimates of the number of veterans with a service-connected disability along with their labor force participation rate, occupation, unemployment rate, and use of certain educational and job training programs are also provided. The Veterans Supplement was designed to be self-response. Interviewers were instructed to make up to two personal or telephone callbacks before accepting a proxy interview.Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income. ...
