Errata sheet for the NLS of Older Men (1966-1990)
Revised: 06/1992
Some asset variables in the 1990 interview schedule were incorrectly topcoded by the Census Bureau. As a result, for certain ID number and reference numbers, the values reported in the data may understate the correct topcoded values.
