Additional data are available concerning weeks worked and hours per week worked, reason not working full-time, total income and income components, and residence on March 1, 1994. This file also contains data covering nine noncash income sources: food stamps, school lunch programs, employer-provided group health insurance plans, employer-provided pension plans, personal health insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS or military health care, and energy assistance. Information on demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, race, household relationship, and Hispanic origin, is available for each person in the household enumerated.

Data Collection Notes

  1. The 285,550 cases in the hierarchical file include household-level, family-level, and person-level records. There are approximately 111 variables for household records, approximately 74 variables for family records, and approximately 343 variables for the person records.

  2. Data on employment and income refer to the preceding year, although demographic data refer to the time of the survey.

  3. The technical documentation incorrectly lists the residence information as pertaining to March 1, 1990 -- the correct year is 1994.

  4. A major redesign of the Current Population Survey was implemented in January 1994. The primary aim of the redesign was to improve the quality of the data derived from the survey by introducing a new questionnaire and modernized data collection methods.
