At intake, a great deal is known about these people, and NCSES regularly collects data on new cohorts entering the science and engineering workforce. Thus the data system is a powerful resource for tracking flows into the science and engineering workforce (with the exception of immigrants educated abroad who enter the United States with similar qualifications)

The large size of the NSCG makes the use of administrative data matching compelling if only on cost grounds. With this matching, one could track employment, earnings, and location for the science and engineering workforce survey respondents 1Uncovered employment, except for the self-employed, will be infrequent for SESTAT respondents.

The unemploy ent insurance earnings data are quarterly, so the employment m and earnings history information obtainable from administrative data is more detailed in terms of both quality and frequency relative to what can be attempted in the SDR.3 TRADEOFFS This administrative effort would not replace the current intake questionnaires, but supplement them. Even absent any survey effort directed at past entrants in the NCSES data system of scientist and engineers, matching in the unemployment insurance earnings data would provide significant information on the evolution of science and engineering careers as well as degree holders in other disciplines, and would do so at very modest cost.
