Margaret Lowden

NLS79 Spanish Translator

Center for Human Resource Research, Ohio State University

Years on the NLS team: 2000-present

Role: The NLSY79 is a bilingual survey. As new questions are added to the survey, it is my job to translate these from English to Spanish.

What innovations have I helped introduce to the NLS

The NLS has been around for a long time; I have only been a part of it for the past 15 years. In addition to the basic challenges that all translators face, the toughest is the legacy translation issue.

Why am I proud to be part of the NLS team

I am proud to be part of the NLS team because I feel like I am part of something positive and bigger.

This site was created at the Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR) at The Ohio State University to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The NLS is a program of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CHRR has conducted the NLS since the program began in 1965, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau (from 1965 to 2003) and NORC at the University of Chicago (from 1978 to the present).
