Sample: This study employed a stratified random sample. Stratification was by agency and pay category. The sample was drawn from the Central Personnel Data File using employee Social Security numbers and excluding employees of the following executive branch agencies: the Smithsonian Institution, the White House Office, the Federal Reserve, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency. The sample was designed and drawn so that valid comparisons could be made among 6 grade/pay categories on both a government-wide basis and within each of the 16 agency groupings.
