Current Population Survey (CPS)
www.bls.census.gov/cps
The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey of about 50,000 households
conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
survey has been conducted for more than 50 years. The CPS is the primary source
of information on the labor force characteristics of the U.S. population. The
sample is scientifically selected to represent the civilian noninstitutional
population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment
status of each member of the household 15 years of age and older. The sample
provides estimates for the nation as a whole and serves as part of model-based
estimates for individual states and other geographic areas. Estimates obtained
from the CPS include employment, unemployment, earnings, hours of work, and
other indicators. They are available by a variety of demographic characteristics
including age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. They
are also available by occupation, industry, and class of worker. Supplemental
questions to produce estimates on a variety of topics including school enrollment,
income, previous work experience, health, employee benefits, and work schedules
are also often added to the regular CPS questionnaire. Website is gateway to
other related surveys

The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) provides
leadership and support for a comprehensive program of research related to the
rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities. All of our programmatic efforts

NLS - National Longitudinal Study of Special Education Students
stats.bls.gov/nls/home.htm
Groundbreaking study which for 6 years, tracked, collected
data from, and reported on the experiences of more than 8,000
secondary school students with disabilities nationwide. Data
were collected repeatedly from telephone interviews with
youth and parents, from school records for multiple years,
and from surveys of teachers and administrators in the schools
attended by sample members. Descriptive and explanatory analyses
of a wide range of outcomes were provided, including school
performance and school completion, social integration, arrest
rates, employment status and quality, and independent functioning.
The influences of individual and household characteristics
and of school experiences and related services on these outcomes
were assessed. Sub-studies examined issues related to gender
differences in special education services, adult services
provided after secondary school, issues related to dropping
out of school, and services provided to Hispanic students
and those in particular disability categories (e.g., learning
disabilities, serious emotional disturbances). SRI International
has a number of ongoing studies of children and youth with
disabilities.

of youth with disabilities in that age group as a whole and

• EMPLOYMENT

DoL- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Statistics About People with Disabilities and Employment

Although many people with disabilities are being employed
and remaining employed, the unemployment rate for people
with disabilities is unacceptably high, as shown in the 1994-95
National Health Interview Survey. This survey found that
79 percent of adults without disabilities were working at
the time they were interviewed and only 37 percent of those
with disabilities were employed. Two federally funded studies
published in 2000 give some insight into why the unemployment
rate is so high among persons with disabilities and provide
data on what employers are doing in the areas of employing
and accommodating workers with disabilities
