Summary View help for Summary
This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey administered as a supplement to the August 2002 basic CPS questionnaire. The supplement, on the topic of public participation in the arts in the United States, was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The CPS, administered monthly, collects labor force data about the civilian noninstitutional population aged 15 years old or older living in the United States. Moreover, the CPS provides current estimates of the economic status and activities of this population which includes 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. The basic CPS data are provided on labor force activity for the week prior to the survey.
The Public Participation in the Arts questions were asked of all persons in month-in-samples four and eight who were 18 years of age or older, as applicable. The CPS instrument determined who was eligible for the Public Participation in the Arts supplement through the use of check items that referred to basic CPS items for age and month-in-sample. Proxy responses were allowed if attempts for a self-response were unsuccessful. The supplement contained questions about the household member's participation in various artistic activities from August 1, 2001 to August 1, 2002. It asked about the type of artistic activity, the frequency of participation, training and exposure, musical and artistic preferences, length of travel for trips to artistic events, school-age socialization, and computer usage related to artistic information.
Demographic data collected include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

The universe statements for each variable are defined in the basic or supplement record layouts found in Attachment 7 and 8, respectively, of the User Guide.
-
ICPSR removed all FILLER and PADDING variables from the data. As a result, the column locations in any ICPSR-released data product (e.g., codebook and setup files) will have column locations that are not consistent with locations described in the User Guide.
Sample View help for Sample
A multistage probability sample based on results of the 2000 decennial Census was used for selecting the housing unit.
Universe View help for Universe
The universe for the basic CPS survey consisted of the civilian noninstitutional population, aged 15 years or older of the United States living in housing units, and members of the Armed Forces living in civilian housing units on a military base or in a household not on a military base. The August 2002 supplement universe represented one quarter of the full CPS sample comprised of all persons 18 years of age or older.

Weight View help for Weight
The data contain seven basic CPS weight variables:
- Household Weight -- HWHHWGT -- Used for tallying household characteristics.
- Family Weight -- PWFMWGT -- Used only for tallying family characteristics.
- Longitudinal Weight -- PWLGWGT -- Found only on adult records matched from month to month (used for gross flows analysis).
- Outgoing Rotation Weight -- PWORWGT -- Used for tallying information collected only in outgoing rotations.
- Final Weight -- PWSSWGT -- Used for most tabulations, controlled to independent estimates for (1) States; (2) Origin, Sex, and Age; and (3) Age, Race, and Sex.
- Veteran's Weight -- PWVETWGT -- Used for tallying veteran's data only.
- Composited Final Weight -- PWCMPWGT -- Used to create BLS's published labor force statistics.
The data also contain one supplement weight -- PWSUPWGT -- associated with the August 2002 Public Participation in the Arts supplement. Use this weight for tallying the supplement items.
Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide for detailed information on how to use the weights, as well as how they were derived.
