Evaluation of Data. Part II: The Measurement of Change: A Comparison of Retrospective and Panel Surveys In: Migration, Employment, and Occupational Mobility. Philadelphia, PA: Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania, 1977 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania Keyword(s): Census of Population; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Migration; Mobility; Mobility, Job; Occupations; Quits; Research Methodology Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper compares certain basic findings from the NLS and similar measures from the 1970 Census of Population, with a view to determining the extent to which they differ and the extent to which the patterns of labor force mobility described by each are similar. Although the findings presented are of considerable substantive interest, the primary purpose is methodological. In general, the two surveys of labor market behavior have been in remarkable agreement on the very broad aspects presented here, with the single important exception of the level of occupational mobility. |
