Third, some institutions track the employment histories and work product of individuals affiliated with them for example, university graduates, professional association members, and government research agency grantees, trainees, and research associates. Finally, of course, scholars construct their own data sets for particular research purposes.

In 1999, for example, the sample frame included U.S.-earned S&E doctorates through the 1998 academic year. Detailed statistical tables in this report provide information on the number of scientists and engineers by demographic characteristic such as citizenship, place of birth, field of degree, and employment-related characteristic such as occupation, sector of employment, median salary, and various labor force statistics (e.g., unemployment rate)

The 1997 survey, for example, included those who earned bachelor's and master's degrees in science and engineering in the 1995 and 1996 academic years. Topics include educational experience before and after obtaining the sampled degree; graduate employment characteristics including occupation, salary, unemployment, underemployment, and post-degree work-related training; relationship between education and employment; and graduate background and demographic characteristics.

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS AND BUREAU OF THE CENSUS SURVEYS Michael McElroy and lames Spletzer, representing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, explained that the agency collects occupational employment statistics through three surveys, principally the Occupational Employment Statistics Survey, supplemented by the Current Population Survey (conducted jointly with the Census Bureau) and the Current Employment Survey, which are combined to create the National-Industry Occupation Employment Matrix.

of the Census Bureau, spoke about secure access sites for using Census data, the kinds of data available through the sites, and a project illustrating some of the research opportunities and constraints imposed by data confidentiality requirements. CES conducts empirical research on confidential microdata from the Census Bureau's regular survey and census programs.

Researchers also may now access confidential demographic microdata, avoiding the restricted geography and "topcoding" of income and other continuous variables of data in the public-use files. This could permit linking with the National Survey of College Graduates conducted by the Census Bureau for the NSF, as well as other surveys (e.g., Current Population Survey, Survey of Income and Program Participation, American Housing Survey, etc.~.

They are using administrative data from the Social Security Administration as the link record between information about individual persons, including earnings and employment histories, and economic data collected about their employers. With respect to scientists and engineers or highly educated individuals generally, because there are repeated observations on individuals, a relatively small initial sample frame becomes a much larger one.
