Why am I proud to be part of the NLS team

Social scientists may agree that individuals inhabit two main spheres- that of work and of personal life. And while the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) is known primarily as a labor market survey, the importance of the NLS is that the program collects not only a large set of information on individuals’ labor market outcomes, but also data on every other major aspect of life beyond and outside of the labor market.
Given the richness of the data, the NLS program has informed a wide range of important social science research, literally thousands of studies, in so many fields, including Economics, Sociology, Criminology, Personal Finance, Health Sciences, and many others. Knowing this, I continue to take great pride in being even a small part of NLS program.

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).
