Current and Alternative Sources of Data on the Science and Engineering Workforce
Alternative Approaches
As has been noted, the S&E population is rare with respect to a general population sampling frame and there is no separate, complete, and up-to-date frame of the S&E population for use throughout the decade. Lacking a separate frame, a large-scale screening exercise is needed to identify a sample of the S&E population. In this situation, it is natural to seek another large-scale data collection to provide the screening. Currently, the decennial census long form serves this purpose, but it is not an ideal vehicle. Because the long form does not include field of degree, further screening is needed to distinguish individuals with S&E degrees from non-S&E degree holders. Also, since the census is conducted only every 10 years, supplementary sampling is needed to update it. This is the role of the NSRCG and SED but, as noted earlier, the update does not include new non-S&E degree earners working in S&E jobs and new immigrants with only foreign degrees.
This section examines the possible use of some large-scale ongoing federal surveys to provide the screening phase of surveys of the S&E population. In considering alternative surveys for this purpose, many factors need to be addressed including the coverage of the target S&E population they provide, the ability to screen out nonmembers of the S&E population, the timeliness and frequency of the surveys, the response rates to the surveys and the likely response rates to the follow-up surveys of the S&E population, issues of operational feasibility, and cost implications. However, as indicated below, an overriding factor that rules out most potential surveys is that their sample sizes are too small for screening purposes; the screening sample size must be large enough to generate the sample sizes needed for the S&E population and for specified subpopulations.
The required sample sizes are, of course, a direct function of the reliability standards established for key survey estimates for the total S&E population and for subpopulations. Appendix D gives the desired and acceptable coefficients of variation (CVs) for estimates of the sizes of various S&E subpopulations of interest that were developed by NSF (e.g., the desired CV for the total S&E population is 0.10% but 0.20% is acceptable). The discussion below explores the screening sample sizes needed to achieve those CVs.
Using a General Household Survey to Screen for a Population of Scientists and Engineers
Variance formulas for simple random sampling are employed to provide rough guidance on the size of screener sample needed to satisfy the reliability specifications given in appendix D; in practice, these formulas will likely underestimate the actual variances (i.e., the design effects will exceed 1). Design effects will exceed 1 as a result of unequal selection probabilities, clustering, and weighting adjustments for nonresponse. Also, no allowance is made for the sample loss from nonresponse. Thus, the screener sample sizes presented are underestimates of those actually required.
To achieve the desired CV of 0.10% for the total S&E population, a screening sample of the general population would need to be large enough to yield a sample of about 893,000 scientists and engineers. If the frame consists of about 101.1 million households, approximately 7.25 million households would have to be screened to obtain a sample of 893,000 members of an S&E population of about 12.5 million people. Moreover, this very large sample size is calculated without any allowance for a design effect of greater than 1 or for survey nonresponse.[3] This size of sample, already larger than operationally feasible, still would not satisfy the CV requirements for some rare subgroups of the S&E population, such as race/ethnicity groups. These rare population subgroups would have to be oversampled substantially to achieve the required levels of CVs for them, which would further increase the screening cost. To obtain the acceptable CV of 0.20% for the estimate of the size of the total S&E population, more than 1.8 million households would need to be screened, again assuming no clustering, equal selection probabilities, and complete response.
We consider the following three options of screener sample size in terms of number of households for a general household population survey:
Tables 1, 2, and 3 give the approximate CVs of the survey estimates for various sized subgroups of the S&E population for the above three options assuming equal probabilities of selection, no clustering of households, and a total of 101.1 million households in the United States. The achieved CVs actually would be higher, depending on the design effect.
The CVs for selected subgroups of the S&E population known to be of interest to user groups are presented in table 4. These CVs are computed under the three options, and assume no oversampling and no clustering effect.
As table 4 shows, none of the options can satisfy the precision requirement for estimating the number of female scientists and engineers given in appendix D. The acceptable CV is 0.3%, whereas even option C, with a screener sample size of 2.0 million households, achieves a CV only as low as 0.4%. The screener sample size would have to be increased to about 3.6 million households to achieve the acceptable CV. Similarly, the required (or acceptable) CVs for estimating the numbers of Hispanic and black scientists and engineers cannot be achieved even under option C. The screener sample size would have to be increased to about 2.6 million households to achieve the required CV of 1.0% for Hispanics and blacks. On the other hand, the required CV of 1.0% for the estimate of the size of the Asian S&E population can be met even under option A, using a screener sample size of 1.0 million households. It should be noted that the above CVs are obtained under the assumption that the survey design effect is equal to 1 (i.e., simple random sampling of households and no clustering of S&E within households). In practice, however, the design effect would be somewhat larger because of clustering of the sample and unequal selection probabilities.
The above discussion indicates that a very large screener sample size is needed to generate sample sizes that meet the CV requirements for some small S&E population subgroups. Note, however, that not all of the rest of the screened sample of the S&E population is needed for the survey. A subsample of sufficient size can be selected to satisfy the reliability requirements for other subgroups and for combinations of them.
With the very large number of households that would need to be screened to meet the various reliability requirements, conducting a new independent survey of scientists and engineers with its own screening would be extremely costly. For this reason, the approach adopted here is to explore the effectiveness of using an existing large-scale household survey for the screening.
Combination of Sampling Frames
Use of multiple frames is beneficial in sample surveys when the combined frames offer a more efficient means of accomplishing the survey objectives. The current SESTAT is in fact an example of a multiple-frame approach. A multiple-frame approach would also likely be needed with the use of one of the alternative surveys under investigation for screening for the S&E population. These surveys have, in theory, almost complete coverage, and they could be used to screen for a representative sample of the entire S&E population. However, given their current sample sizes, they would yield very few individuals with S&E doctoral degrees; similarly, a general screening of the population for scientists and engineers with doctoral degrees would be very expensive. To address this problem, the SDR could be continued to provide required sample sizes for doctorate recipients, with new cohorts being sampled from the frame provided by the SED as at present. The estimates for the S&E population with doctoral degrees could then be constructed using one of the following options:
Similarly, a dual-frame design could be considered for the S&E population with graduate degrees from abroad. For example, one could explore the feasibility of using lists from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to identify immigrant scientists and engineers who obtained their degrees abroad. Such a design would be difficult to implement, but might be worth considering if the alternative survey frame lacked coverage of this portion of the S&E population.
Alternative Screening Surveys
As the preceding discussion has shown, if another household survey is to be used as a first-phase screening survey for locating members of the S&E population, the survey would need to have a very large sample size. The main advantages of linking the S&E workforce survey with an existing ongoing federal survey would be decreased cost and improved efficiency by consolidating field data collection operations that are common to the different surveys. The remainder of this section examines the possible use of the American Community Survey and other large-scale federal household surveys, including the Current Population Survey, for screening for the S&E population. The possibility of using an existing large-scale telephone survey, such as the National Immunization Survey, to screen for members of the S&E population is also examined. With a household telephone survey, consideration needs to be given to the increasingly serious problem of nonresponse that such surveys often face.
Another very different approach is to sample members of the S&E population at their places of work, using an establishment-based sample design. The use of a list of establishments as the frame to survey employed scientists and engineers is examined in the section "Establishment-Based Sample Design."
American Community Survey
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a rolling sample survey (Kish 1990) that is being developed by the U.S. Census Bureau as an intended replacement for the census long form. The ACS will include the same detailed socioeconomic subject areas as the census long form questionnaire. Instead of collecting data from about 17 million housing units at one time (as is done during the decennial census), the ACS will sample about 250,000 addresses each month, or some 3 million each year throughout the decade (Alexander, Dahl, and Weidman 1997). The ACS is currently in the development and testing stage. The sampling frame will be the Census Bureau's Master Address File, which will be updated throughout the decade to keep it fully current. The sample will be distributed throughout the country with no clustering, and with higher sampling fractions in small governmental units. Each address could be sampled at most once in a 5-year period.
The ACS will be conducted using a mail-out, mail-return, self-response approach, combined with initial CATI follow-up, supplemented by a CAPI follow-up of a subsample of the remaining nonrespondents. As an ongoing survey, ACS is a flexible vehicle capable of adapting to changing user needs. Once fully implemented, there is the potential to add supplemental questions on subjects of current interest or to help identify special population groups. It must be noted, however, that it is not necessarily easy to add questions to the ACS and in no case will changes be made before 2008. It is likely that a legal reason will be required for the inclusion of new questions, in addition to several years of lead time for testing.
Once the ACS is fully implemented, estimates will be available annually for areas and population groups of 65,000 or more people. Estimates for smaller areas will be provided on a multiple-year average basis. Estimates for the smallest areas or for small population groups will be available on a 5-year average cycle, with reliability consistent with that provided for these groups in recent decennial censuses.
The ACS could offer a range of sampling options, flexibility in design and content, and more current data for analysis than the census long form. It also could be used to efficiently identify households or individuals with unique characteristics. Once identified, follow-up interviews could be conducted by mail or telephone, or in person, if required, to meet the needs for more detailed information about these households. Furthermore, the ACS could not only provide more timely data for use in designing the S&E workforce surveys, it could also improve survey coverage. If used as a screener for the S&E population, the problems associated with pooling S&E cases across multiple years to achieve sufficient samples of scientists and engineers would need to be addressed.
Because ACS is planned to be a continuous survey, each round of the NSF data collection could be based on a fresh sample selected from the ACS, thus covering the full current S&E population (a repeated cross-sectional survey approach). An approach using recent ACS samples could lead to changes in content, frequency, or sample design of the NSCG. The ACS might be able to provide the coverage updating function of the NSRCG samples, although the small size of this subpopulation may present problems in having enough cases in the ACS samples. Because the ACS would not provide a large enough sample of doctorate recipients at the small domain levels necessary (e.g., field by race/ethnicity by sex), it would seem desirable to continue with a separate SDR survey. However, the ACS could provide representation of scientists and engineers graduating abroad and non-S&E graduates working in S&E occupations. If the census long form is replaced by the ACS, the use of the ACS as a vehicle for conducting the NSF S&E workforce surveys needs to be explored. Furthermore, NSF needs to determine whether using the ACS could result in significant cost savings and provide improved coverage of the S&E population.
If implemented, the ACS will be an attractive option to consider as a possible venue for collaboration on an existing survey. Given the ACS annual sample size of 3 million housing units and assuming a completion rate of 75%, data will be collected from some 2.25 million housing units, or more than 6 million people, which will yield an annual S&E sample of more than 275,000 individuals.
Issues to Consider. Issues include the following:
National Immunization Survey
The ongoing National Immunization Survey (NIS) that is being conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the National Immunization Program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could offer an alternative opportunity for screening for a sample of the S&E population. The NIS is a large-scale random digit dialing (RDD) survey that uses CATI methods to screen more than 900,000 households each year. The survey was initiated in April, 1994 to monitor vaccination coverage levels of children 19–35 months of age on an ongoing basis. NIS covers all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The sample is allocated to produce national estimates and separate estimates for 78 Immunization Action Plan (IAP) areas.
The use of a list-assisted RDD approach for sampling households in the NIS results in noncoverage of households without telephones and households with unlisted numbers in the 100 banks containing no listed numbers. Although approximately 5% of the households in the United States do not have a telephone, this is probably a minor concern for households containing individuals in the S&E population.[4] Noncoverage as a result of residential unlisted telephone numbers belonging to the 100 banks containing no listed numbers is less than 2%, which is negligible.
For purposes of identifying the eligible S&E population, it would be necessary to modify the NIS screening questionnaire by adding special questions. If the NIS sample is not large enough to meet all the sample size requirements for the S&E data system, the set of special questions could also be made into a separate instrument to use in screening an additional sample of households for members of the S&E population. The cost of administering such a screener, which might be substantial, is of real concern and would need to be explored completely and carefully. The main advantage of an independent screener is that the screening instrument would be developed to suit the needs of S&E data user requirements. In view of the rarity of those with S&E doctorates, it would almost certainly still be necessary to augment the screened sample with a sample of S&E doctoral degree holders from the SDR.
Sample Design. The NIS uses a two-phase sample design. For the first phase, a quarterly sample of telephone numbers is drawn for each IAP area, and a screening questionnaire is administered to locate households with one or more children 19–35 months of age. When an eligible child is found, the person most knowledgeable about the child's vaccinations is identified. If that person is available, the full interview is administered at that time; otherwise the interviewer arranges a time to call back. Both the screening and the immunization interviews are conducted by CATI.
The NIS seeks to attain a coefficient of variation no larger than 5.0% for the annual vaccination coverage estimates in each IAP area. To satisfy this precision requirement, the sample size target for NIS is set at 440 eligible children per IAP area for each four-quarter period, or 110 per quarter. To achieve a sample of 110 children per quarter for each IAP area, the sampling rates vary across IAP areas according to the sizes of the areas. For example, the larger IAP areas are sampled at lower sampling rates.
The NIS target sample size is 8,580 completed household interviews per quarter for all 78 IAPs (110 per IAP area). For 1994, an average of 512,800 sample telephone numbers were drawn per quarter, and 420,500 sample telephone numbers were actually dialed per quarter by interviewers after the prescreening for business and nonworking numbers had removed 18% of the initial sample. Assuming that approximately 60% of the numbers are residential numbers and there is no nonresponse, the sample yield would be 252,300 residential telephone numbers per quarter. By accumulating the sample over a period of 2 years, the sample size would be more than 2 million households, or 5.4 million people. The expected sample of individuals in scope for the S&E population would be in excess of 240,000. However, because the NIS sample is designed to produce estimates for each of the 78 IAPs, and the IAP areas vary considerably in population size, the NIS file contains highly differential weights that lead to a sizable loss in precision for national estimates. Also, allowance needs to be made for nonresponse to the S&E screener and follow-up data collection.
Issues to Consider. Issues include the following:
Other Household Surveys
Several other federally sponsored household surveys are conducted on a continuous basis. For example, the Current Population Survey (CPS) has been conducted monthly by the Census Bureau since 1942. Other examples of household survey vehicles that could be explored for studying the S&E workforce are the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of NCHS.
Two options would be available for using these surveys to screen for the S&E population: (1) accumulate samples over time and conduct the S&E workforce survey at the required intervals; or (2) collect data on a continuing basis and accumulate data over time to produce estimates at the required intervals. Under option 1, the costs associated with tracing and locating respondents could be very high. On the other hand, the estimates produced under option 2 would not reflect the S&E population for a single point in time, but rather average values over the data collection time period (as is also the case with the ACS).
Current Population Survey. The CPS is a monthly survey of about 50,000 households conducted jointly by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). 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 noninstitutionalized population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household who is 15 years of age and older.
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.
The CPS employs a stratified multistage clustered sample design. Since the inception of the survey, there have been various changes in the design of the CPS sample. The survey is traditionally redesigned and a new sample selected after each decennial census. The current sample design, introduced in January 1996, includes about 59,000 housing units from 754 sample areas. The number of eligible households is about 50,000, and the number actually interviewed is about 46,800 every month, i.e., about 94% of eligible households respond to the survey. The CPS monthly sample of 46,800 households cannot support the analytic needs of SRS. The CPS sample is designed to support the measurement of the U.S. labor force as a whole rather than that of specialized populations such as the S&E workforce. The CPS sample would need to be aggregated over time to be a possible option for studying the S&E workforce.
The CPS employs a rotating panel design in which only one-eighth of the sample is changed each month. Each monthly sample comprises eight representative subsamples or rotation groups. A given rotation group is interviewed for a total of 8 months, divided into two equal periods. The rotation group is in the sample for 4 consecutive months, leaves the sample during the following 8 months, and then returns for another 4 consecutive months. In each monthly sample, one of the rotation groups is in the first month of enumeration, another rotation group is in the second month, and so on. Because of the rotating panel design of the survey, only about 158,000 unique households are interviewed over a 12-month period. Similarly, over a 24-month period, the accumulated sample size would be 228,000 households, and over a 3-year period, 298,000 households. Even after accumulating the sample over 3 years, the screened sample of individuals who are in scope for the S&E workforce surveys would be approximately 36,000 individuals. The effective sample size would be even smaller for two reasons: design effects attributable to disproportional allocation of the sample, and intracluster correlation, because the unique households that are being sampled are sampled from the same primary sampling units and segments (clustering effect). Thus, the sample sizes would not be large enough to produce S&E estimates with the required reliability.
In response to a legislative mandate under the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), the Census Bureau expanded the monthly sample for the CPS in 2000. This expansion was introduced over a 3-month period, beginning with the September 2000 survey, and occurred in 31 states and the District of Columbia. In all, the total number of households eligible for the monthly survey increased from about 50,000 to about 60,000 households.
The SCHIP legislation requires that the Census Bureau improve state estimates of the number of children who live in low-income families and lack health insurance. The expansion of the monthly CPS sample is one part of the Census Bureau's plan for improving the SCHIP estimates. Other parts of the plan include an increase in the number of households that are asked the questions from the annual March supplement to the CPS, the source of information on income and access to health insurance.
The increased sample yields roughly 357,600 interviewed unique households over a 3-year period. Therefore, even the increased CPS sample will not be sufficient for S&E sample size requirements. Moreover, the increase is aimed at improving the state-level estimates. Thus, most of the sample increase is allocated to smaller states, which means larger design effects.
Survey of Income and Program Participation. The SIPP, conducted by the Census Bureau, provides information on the economic situation of households and individuals in the United States. SIPP began in late 1983 with a design that attempted a compromise between the twin goals of collecting accurate cross-sectional and longitudinal data on income and program participation by using a multiple-panel overlapping design. A revised design was introduced in April 1996 to focus primarily on providing accurate and useful longitudinal data by using abutting 4-year panels.
There are three basic elements contained in the overall design of the survey content. The first is a control card, which is used to record basic social and demographic characteristics for each person in the household at the time of the initial interview. The second major element of the survey content is the core portion of the questionnaire. The core questions are repeated at each interview and cover labor force activity, the types and amounts of income received during the 4-month reference period, and participation status in various programs. The third major element is the various supplements or topical modules that are embedded during selected household visits.
The sample for the first SIPP panel in 1983 consisted of about 20,000 households selected to represent the noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The 1996 panel has a sample size of approximately 36,800 households. Households in this SIPP panel were interviewed at 4-month intervals over a period of 4 years. The reference period for the questions is the 4-month period preceding the interview. The sample households within a given panel are divided into four samples of nearly equal size. These subsamples are called rotation groups, and one rotation group is interviewed each month. In general, one cycle of four rotation groups covering the entire sample using the same questionnaire is called a wave. The rotation group design was chosen because it provides a steady workload for data collection and processing.
Data collection operations are managed through the Census Bureau's 12 permanent regional offices. A staff of interviewers assigned to SIPP conducts interviews during monthly personal visits, with most interviewing completed during the first 2 weeks of that month. Completed questionnaires are transmitted to the regional offices where they undergo an extensive clerical edit before being entered into the Bureau's SIPP data processing system.
The Census Bureau's current working plan for future panels is shown in table 5. Each of these planned panels will be interviewed every 4 months over 3-year periods. A large panel is started every third year, with smaller panels starting in other years. It should be noted that the Census Bureau had delayed the beginning of the second large panel from 2000 to 2001 because of operational considerations associated with the 2000 decennial census. Moreover, the 2004 (and subsequent) panels will be state-representative, but they will not produce reliable state-level estimates unless some additional sample can be included. The additional sample would not only improve the reliability of the state-level estimates, but it would also compensate for the loss of efficiency for national estimates resulting from differential weights.
As can be seen from table 5, even after accumulating data over all the proposed panels from 2000 through 2004 the sample size will only be 107,600 households. Because that number is not sufficient for the S&E workforce survey, SIPP is not a viable option for studying the S&E workforce.
National Health Interview Survey. The NHIS, which has been in continuous operation since 1957, is designed to produce national and selected subnational estimates of health indicators, health care utilization and access, and health-related behaviors for the U.S. resident civilian noninstitutionalized population. The NHIS is conducted by NCHS, a component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Public Health Service, in the Department of Health and Human Services. In accordance with specifications established by NCHS, the Census Bureau participates in the planning of the NHIS and in the data collection. The NHIS sample has been redesigned after each decennial census, and the specific parameters of the design have changed over time. For example, the 1973–84 NHIS design was based on a sample of 386 primary sampling units (PSUs), the 1985–94 NHIS design was based on a sample of 198 PSUs, and the current 1995–2004 NHIS design is based on a sample of 358 sample PSUs. The NHIS sample for the data collection years 1995 to 2004 was designed to improve the precision for various domains defined by race and ethnicity and to enhance the survey's ability to provide state estimates.
The estimates from NHIS can be produced for various population subgroups, including those defined by age, sex, race, family income, geographic region, and place of residence. The number of interviewed households per year is about 41,500. The total number of screened housing units is much larger, about 71,500 per year including nonrespondent and vacant housing units. Compared with other households, the NHIS oversamples Hispanic households at a relative ratio of 2.1:1 and black households at a relative ratio of 1.4:1 to improve the estimates for the Hispanic and black populations. The approximately 30,000 housing units screened but not interviewed are white and "other race" housing units, as well as vacant and nonrespondent units.
The NHIS is based on a stratified multistage area sampling design with clustering of housing units. The PSU is a metropolitan statistical area or a group of one or more counties. The PSUs are stratified by region and state, with some oversampling occurring in small states. An area segment sample of housing units is selected at the second stage of selection. Most housing units constructed since 1990 are separately sampled from new construction permit records.
The NHIS sample is randomly partitioned into four nationally representative subsamples of approximately equal size and conceptually similar statistical features. These partitions are referred to as "panels," each of which contains about 104 PSUs. The largest self-representing PSUs are included in all panels, and no non-self-representing (NSR) PSU is included in more than one panel. The sample is also divided into a number of temporal subdesigns. The sample is first divided into subdesigns that are assigned for data collection for each year in the period from 1995 to 2004. Annual NHIS samples are then divided into 52 weekly interviewer assignment samples, with each weekly sample constituting a national probability sample of housing units. An average NSR PSU has five weekly assignments during a year. Large self-representing PSUs have assignments in many more weeks per year. NCHS processes groups of 13 weekly samples that correspond to quarters of the calendar year to produce national estimates for each quarter.
Given the very small NHIS sample size, which in fact would have to be accumulated for more than 10 years to obtain an adequate S&E sample, the option of using the NHIS to screen for the S&E population is not feasible.
Establishment-Based Sample Design
Another approach is to sample the S&E population by place of work, using an establishment-based sample design. As part of the ongoing SRS program, one survey is already being conducted using lists of companies as a sampling frame. The annual survey of Research and Development in Industry collects information on R&D expenditures and employment of scientists and engineers from a nationally representative sample of about 23,000 companies. The survey was started in 1992 and includes data from both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing companies. The frame for the annual Survey of Research and Development in Industry is a potential establishment-based frame for finding members of the S&E workforce.
Alternatively, the sampling frame for the S&E data collection could be constructed using establishment-level primary and secondary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to identify establishments likely to employ members of the S&E population. A sample of employees who are in scope for the S&E workforce could then be selected from the sampled establishments. There are several business frames and databases that could be used as frame sources. Some business frames, such as Dun's Market Identifiers (DMI) of the Dun and Bradstreet Information Services, are fairly comprehensive. The DMI contains more than 10 million records on establishments small and large. It is an establishment-based frame but also has data on corporate structure. The DMI database was used as a sampling frame for the 1994 National Employee Health Insurance Survey (NEHIS) sponsored by NCHS. According to an assessment study conducted by Marker and Edwards (1997), the database has about 99% coverage of the universe. Coverage of family farms and the self-employed, however, is somewhat weak. Although family farms are not especially important for an S&E workforce study, the absence of the self-employed may prove much more significant. Recently established small businesses also are likely to be missed disproportionately. Coverage of all employees is probably higher than the coverage of establishments, because it is much more likely for large establishments to be included in the frame.
A weakness of the DMI file is its continued inclusion of many small establishments that are no longer in business. This weakness does not cause bias, but would entail increased costs to identify and eliminate sampled establishments that are no longer in operation and that result in increased variances of the survey estimates. However, the reliability of the survey estimates can be improved through poststratification.
The DMI file contains information about business establishments (individual business locations) in the private sector as well as government entities. Individual records in the private-sector portion of the file represent a business establishment, and include basic information such as company name, address, telephone number, and names of corporate officers. Also, the file provides information about total sales and the number of employees. To reduce cost, a full DMI abstract file containing a limited number of design-related variables could be acquired for survey design and sample selection purposes. The full range of data items could then be obtained for sampled records only. The number of employees in the business establishment is missing for about 13% of the records, but these could be treated as a separate category for sample design purposes. However, such an option would be very costly.
Both the U.S. Census Bureau and BLS maintain business registers for use as sampling frames for their business surveys (see appendix E). Because of confidentiality regulations, these registers are not available to other government agencies. They can be used only if the Census Bureau or BLS conducts the survey and controls the data. Otherwise, the DMI file is the only establishment list that can be used as a sampling frame for the NSF workforce data. The population control totals can, however, be tabulated from the BLS list of establishments for ratio adjustment (poststratification). Wallace et al. (1995) describe how the respondent weights in the private-sector portion of the NEHIS were ratio-adjusted (poststratified) to align with independent estimates of the number of employees provided by BLS. This weight ratio adjustment method reduces the sampling variability in estimates that are correlated with the number of employees, and it also provides a mechanism for adjusting for sampling frame undercoverage. It should be noted that there would still be a risk of potential bias for subgroups for which there is systematic undercoverage on the frame that is not accounted for in the poststratification adjustment.
The DMI file could be used as a sampling frame to study only the employed portion of the S&E workforce population. This frame does not cover those who are unemployed or not in the labor force, and some who are self-employed. These groups are often important subjects for SRS workforce information efforts. A further concern, even for studying the employed, would be whether businesses (or government or academic institutions for that matter) would provide NSF or its contractor with either access to the employees or with names and addresses, which could then be used to contact the employees. Perhaps establishment surveys should be considered as a collection vehicle only for special modules for which the data would be collected directly from the establishments.
[3] With a simple random sample, the estimated number of elements in the population with a given characteristic is given by Np, where N is the population size and p is the sample estimate of the proportion of the population with that characteristic. The CV of this estimated number is approximately where P = R / N, R is the number of elements in the population with the characteristic, and n is the sample size (see, for example, Cochran 1977, section 3.2). These formulas have been used in the calculations in this section under the simplifying assumption that each household contains at most one member of the S&E population. With this assumption, the simple random sampling formulas can be applied with the household as the unit of analysis. The total number of households in the United States has been taken to be N = 101.1 million, and R denotes the number of members of the S&E population or subpopulation of interest.
[4] However, because only landline phones can be surveyed with RDD methods, the increasing number of households with only cell phones is an emerging problem.

As of Tuesday, if you have four or more Seattle parking tickets that are overdue — at least 45 days after receiving the fourth ticket — a 16-pound yellow metal boot could be locked onto one of your vehicle's wheels. To remove it, you'll pay $145 plus the parking tickets, court penalties and collection-related fees.
Until now, Seattle police would see cars with overdue, unpaid parking tickets and have to pass them by because the cars were legally parked.
Not anymore.
As of Tuesday, if you have four or more Seattle parking tickets that are overdue — at least 45 days after receiving the fourth ticket — a 16-pound yellow metal boot could be locked onto one of your vehicle's wheels. To remove it, you'll pay $145 plus the parking tickets, court penalties and collection-related fees.
Parking-enforcement officers began applying boots Tuesday as part of a new strategy for collecting fees for violations. A city law allowing officers to apply the boot to scofflaws went into effect July 1.

The city estimates $26 million is owed in a backlog of scofflaw citations, and booting will recoup an estimated $3 million in the next two years.
If officers encounter a driver as he or she is returning to the car, they will give a warning instead of the boot, said Vincent Babcock, one of the boot-team enforcement officers.
"We want to give them the opportunity to understand that now's the time to pay their citations," he said, after clamping a boot on a bronze Kia Optima on 13th Avenue and East Howell Street on Capitol Hill. The car had seven unpaid parking tickets.
Two parking-enforcement vehicles are now each armed with three infrared cameras that scan license plates and cross reference plate numbers with law-enforcement and court databases for stolen vehicles and scofflaws. The cameras can read plates as the parking-enforcement cars are driving, even up to 70 mph, said George Murray, supervisor of the police department's Parking Enforcement Section. Eight officers have been trained to be members of the boot team.
The boot teams will roam city streets Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Edwards said. Police opted not to use boot teams on weekends to save on overtime pay, he added.
To remove a boot, violators call New Jersey-based PayLock on its 24-hour hotline and pay the ticket costs, penalties and fees by credit card or other means. The company then provides a code to unlock the device.
After that, the driver has two calendar days to return the boot to one of five drop-off locations, or a daily late fee of $25 may be added to the bill. Failure to return the boot, or damaging the boot may cost the driver a $500 replacement fee. Originally, the city planned to provide three boot-return locations, none of which would have been open past normal business hours. The city has since added two more drop-off spots and made three of the five open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If a boot is not removed from a car within 48 hours, the car can be towed.
About 20,000 vehicles were listed as scofflaws as of July 2, according to the Seattle Municipal Court.
To encourage people to pay their parking tickets and avoid getting booted, the city is waiving collection fees and accrued interest on overdue parking tickets until July 15.
There's reason to believe a flurry of people paid off their tickets in response to the temporary waiver, which began May 1, said Nick Zajchowski, policy analyst for the Seattle Municipal Court.
"We have seen the lines increase at our cashier windows quite a bit in the last few weeks," he said.
People who get on a payment plan will be taken off the scofflaw list.
In anticipation of the law change, officers also distributed about 2,000 warning notices to scofflaws since the end of May, Edwards said.

im thinking about putting some money on bradley myself, only concern is him getting the decision bcuz its likely to be close. but i could see bradley taking him to school completely too.
other than JMM this is the hardest fight pacquiao had since the second fight with morales, and he lost atleast 2 out of 3 against JMM.
bradleys boxing skills are underrated, he moves well which pac struggles with. he can take a shot when he has to and hes got alot of heart. when he decides to box his defence is very good, i mentioned the foot movement but he moves his head too and keeps his hands in good position, he can be very hard to hit flush when he wants to.

If this were a fight to bet against Pac, it would have to be this one. Something just really doesn't feel right to me with Pac, since he's probably on the way out. It would be a big statement to me if Pac could come out and have a comfortable victory over Bradley.

No way in hell Bradley will ever be allowed to get a decision over Pac, not whatsoever. I do not think Bradley has the punching power to stop Pac either, so what we will probably see, is Bradley making a great account of himself and it is highly competitive, maybe even Bradley edging Pac out in reality, but losing a close decision. The key as I have said before, is Bradley's chin. If Pac can't hurt him or touch his chin enough, Pac is in deep. Reason is, Bradley is just as strong, if not stronger than Pac, has better fundamentals and is almost as quick if not as quick. Pac's equalizer is always is power so you never know what can happen, Bradley seems to have a decent chin at the very least so, it may get interesting. If Pac cannot hurt or slow down Bradley by the 4th round, Pac may be in deep water. The only way Bradley gets a decision over Pac, is if Arum/TR decide that since Pac is about done and about to retire within 1-2 fights, to give Bradley the decision since he is young and his prime. Only problem is, Bradley would never come close to having the fanbase or popularity Pac has of course. So as I said, I cannot see it happening regardless of how well Bradley fights. $$ Talks and BS Walks. No matter what happens though, Pac's stock is done, we know that. Between the opponents chosen for him and his last performance, he has nowhere to go but down. This Bradley fight is the most important fight for Pac in a LONG time. He is fighting a fast, strong, undefeated, prime, BLACK fighter lol. Someone he has never fought before in his entire career. This fight will speak volumes about Pac I think...whether he was overrated and carefully matched, or as good as some think he is. Personally, as I said, if Pac blows out Bradley, I will give him props on here immediately, no excuses at all. However, I think it will go the other way and he is in for a rough night.

bradley is the smarter fighter? how can u say that? how do u measure it? based on style?? what has he done lately? yes, i know he's a real live underdog but pac is getting underrated here just based on his last fight against JMM. bradley aint even better than the cotto pac fought at 145. pac is more experienced and he ain't even talking. we all just know this june.. hell bradley would even get bullied by margo for sure or clottey somehow.

People who are saying Pac will blow Bradley away are not taking the orthodox vs southpaw style clash consideration. Expect head clashes, expect Pacquiao to get cut, since he cuts so easily, and Pacquiao does not fight very well while he's cut. He fights more reckless but that will play in to Bradley's game.

Pacquiao at his best, or at least close to his best, is just too good for Timothy Bradley. I'm a big fan of Bradley, but that's just the honest truth, no matter how you look at this fight.
Where it gets interesting is that Pacquiao has not looked his best since beating the hell out of Miguel Cotto, back in November of 2009. That's quite a long time ago. At this point he appears to be a fighter on the decline that is completely uninterested in putting in the work required to stay at his best.
Can Tim Bradley beat the Manny Pacquiao that showed up against Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez? Yes, he can, and I might just pick him because I expect that Pacquiao to enter the ring in June, not the guy from 2008-2009.

A 20-year-old Battle Ground man lost control of his car early Wednesday and slammed into a median on Padden Parkway, near Interstate 205, authorities said.
Aleksandr Shevchenko was driving a 2003 Subaru Impreza northbound on the I-205 ramp to eastbound Padden Parkway around 1 a.m. When Shevchenko approached a curve in the road, he lost control, slid across Padden Parkway and ran into the median barrier, according to a release from the Washington State Patrol.
Shevchenko complained of wrist pain and was transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. His passenger, David Vtyurin, 18, of La Center had a bloody nose and was also transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, the state patrol said. Both men were treated and released.
Alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the accident, according to the state patrol.
The case was still under investigation Wednesday afternoon. Charges are pending the results of toxicology tests, state patrol Trooper Ryan Tanner said.

Sulema Garcia Basquez
Did you get the information for Sulema from a tombstone in the McDonald Cemetery? I am asking because her surname should be Vasquez as well as Antonio Basquez, but the family I spoke with said they had hear the name was misspelled with a "B" in the past. Just wondering how it is spelled on the stone.

Warren Elmo Schulze
Dear Prudence,
The information that is listed for Warren Elmo Schulze 16731908 is incorrect. It states that he only has one son, Patrick. He actually has two sons. The other is Chief of Police Arnie Darrell Schulze of the Cut and Shoot, Texas police department. Arnie Schulze also has two sons that are the grandsons of Warren Elmo Schulze. Christopher Schulze of Fort Worth, TX and Robert Schulze of Plano.

RE: Haley Family
Hi...I would like to know if their mite be a Rachel L. Pennington Haley in your cemetery...1830-March 23,1847.
Hi Prudence, for the O'Malley Cemetery there are some infants which carry only the last name Haley without any specifics on first or middle name, or year of death. So the answer is a squishy maybe, but not likely.

Hi Prudence,
I did some more research about the Clements family and discovered that the Manning Clements who served the Confederacy in Alabama is a different man with the same name as the one who served in the Texas Rangers. I am still looking for details of his military service. Thank you.

Clements History
Hey there, Prudence:
I tried your email with no luck, so I am leaving a public message.
Are you a Clements descendant? I research Bram(b)let(t)(e)s. I saw your posting on Manning Clements. I'm researching him because of his connection to Hellen Effie Bramlette as father-in-law.
I have his NARA Compiled Service Records for service in the Tuscaloosa Alabama Prison Guards. He must have gone to Texas during the war and joined the Texas Border Rangers? I see that is inscribed on one of his grave markers. Do you know his Texas unit?
And I see he once was a member of the notorious John Wesley Hardin gang.
His Alabama war service summary:
Listed as Manning, Manen, M. and Manon Clements.
Private, Private, Capt. Powell's Tuscaloosa Guards, Alabama, and Capt. C. D. Freeman's Company B, Prison Guard/Freeman's Company A, Prison Guard, Battalion, Salisbury, N.C., C.S.A.
Enlisted April 1, 1862, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; re-enlisted; detailed as shoemaker; served at least until Feb. 28, 1863. No details about discharge or transfer.
I found the following obit.
The April 2, 1887, edition of The Ballinger Eagle reported Emanuel Manning Clements II was killed in a gunfight at the Alamo saloon in Ballinger, Runnels Co., Tex.:
"Manning Clements Killed. A pistol shot was heard near night Tuesday afternoon in the Alamo saloon on 7th street, and it was soon learned that the ever-present six-shooter had got in its deadly work on Manning Clements, a stockman of McCulloch county, who has been in Ballinger several weeks shipping stock. Clements was a first cousin to John Wesley Hardin, and like the noted John Wesley had spent more than one man to his long home. For the last several years had led a quieter life than in his younger days, having married and settled down. The evidence taken at the inquest by Judge Hargrove Tuesday night and Wednesday morning discloses substantially the following facts: Deputy Sheriff Joe Townsend, Sheriff Formwalt and Manning Clements were in the Alamo saloon. The two latter had been drinking, and Formwalt had fired off his pistol in Hamilton and Conner's saloon a short while before. Townsend was endeavoring to secure his pistol. Formwalt was drawing his pistol, and Townsend had seized it, when Clements with an oath ordered him to stop, and was leveling a pistol which he had in the meantime drawn, on Townsend. Retaining his hold upon Formwalt's pistol, Townsend instantly fired, the ball entering about an inch above Clement's left eye, ranging backward and upward. Clements fell to the floor in a sitting posture and immediately expired. His pistol was in his hand at full cock after he died, showing in all probability Townsend only escaped death by depriving Clements of his life. The Odd Fellows, of which society he was a member took charge of the body and prepared it for interment and expressed it to the home of the dead man. He leaves a wife, one daughter and son" (Vol. 5, No. 31 Whole No. 239).
As I understand it, Hellen Effie Bramlette married Manning "Mannie" Clements, son of Mary Ann "Molly" Robinson and Manning "Mannen" Clements II (Jr.) and grandson of Emanuel "Manning" Clements I (Sr.) and Martha Balch Hardin. This Emanuel "Manning" Clements is son of William Clements? Martha is sister to John Wesley Hardin, son of a preacher, who was Texas' deadliest outlaw after the Civil War. Hellen Effie Bramlette Clements' brother Pat Bramlette joined the Hardin Gang and he was later killed in Kansas in a saloon shootout in 1892. The Bramlettes are children of Louisa Mariah "Louise" "Lou" Thomas and Mack Henry "McHenry" Bramlette of Bedford County, Va., and Frio Co., Tex. McHenry served as a soldier during the Mexican War and in the Arizona Brigade in Texas during the Civil War. McHenry descends from Anna Ballard and Rev. William Bramblett who lived in Bedford County in the 1760s-1770s and from William Bramlett I, an early settler of the county in 1754.
Thanks for all you do.

BEND, Ore. (AP) — Two top deputy prosecutors for Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty have resigned.
KTVZ-TV in Bend reported that Flaherty announced Monday that Chief Deputy District Attorney Traci Anderson and Deputy District Attorney Pat Horton have resigned, effective July 5.
Flaherty praised both for their roles in the office but gave no details about why they were leaving, saying he would have no further comment.
The resignations came as Flaherty faces a lawsuit by fired deputy prosecutors and an Oregon State Bar investigation of his response to a lawyer's release of personal information on new hires for his office.

Emily Thornberry has said that the UK's membership of the EU is "indispensable" in helping keep Britain safe, following a visit to NATO's headquarters in Brussels. The Shadow Defence Secretary met with a number of senior NATO officials over two days, and says that it was "repeatedly made clear" that the EU is considered an important ally of the security alliance. "In recent days, we have been told by Leave campaigners that the EU is irrelevant to British security, because […]Read more →
It is accepted wisdom that for a party to be elected in a first past the post two-party system it has to appeal to swing voters, particularly those in marginal seats.

The reality of last year's general election is that Labour's failure to secure a victory in an England, suffering at the hands of UKIP, ultimately resulted in our defeat. As a parliamentary candidate in Rochester and Strood, for both the general election and by-election, caused by the defection of Mark Reckless to UKIP, I am all too aware of the public mood, that considered us out of touch with their lives and values.

FPPC investigating 4 fair board members
The issue is whether 352 free tickets had a legitimate public use
The fairgrounds is managed by a state agency called the 22nd District Agricultural Association. Its board members are appointed by the governor and are not paid.
Day sent The Watchdog a copy of a fairgrounds ticket policy, approved in 2009, under the guidance of the fair's deputy attorney general. That policy spells out allowable uses of free tickets, including ceremonial functions.
Generally speaking, board members on official duties can have tickets for themselves, plus enough for a spouse and any dependent children.
The ticket policy also says a fair board member can give free tickets to potential sponsors. Day said he gave tickets to a family of five for the Bruno Mars concert. He gave another six away for the Travis Tritt concert. Day said his disclosure form will be corrected to reflect that a potential sponsor got those concert tickets and not his immediate family.
Day received 154 fair tickets, which works out to six per day for him and his five children for the 22-day fair. The form said Day also received 12 tickets to Bruno Mars for him and his immediate family, eight to Travis Tritt and two for the The Beach Boys. That's a total of $2,002 in fair tickets and $552 in concerts.
"I believe I am in compliance with the FPPC regulations and our policy," Day said in an emailed statement. "I look forward to working with the FPPC to answer any questions they may have and, if necessary, make any corrections."
Barrales did not return a phone message left with his receptionist. Penniman said he was out of state on active duty and was unavailable before deadline. Alpert emailed to say he resigned from the board and did not respond to further questions.
The FPPC revised its regulations on such tickets in December 2008 after it received numerous complaints about Orange County Fair Board members and Anaheim City Council members attending Angels games, Ducks games, and concerts for free. The Orange County Register reported that Orange County Fair Board members received 8,892 Pacific Amphitheater concert tickets worth $376,532 over two years leading up to the ruling.
At Del Mar, officials have received discounted tickets, in addition to their free tickets.
Former board member Barry Nussbaum, who received 154 free fair tickets, was allowed to purchase 100 tickets to this year's fair for $200 under a policy meant for marketing and underprivileged organizations. The Watchdog obtained the receipt for that transaction under a public records request with the fairgrounds.
Nussbaum bought the $2 tickets in May, a month before he was removed from office by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Nussbaum said he gave about 40 of the tickets away to church groups and schools and did not use the rest.
Fennell said Nussbaum bought the tickets under the $2 ticket voucher policy the fairgrounds created in response to state limits on free tickets. The fairgrounds is limited to only donating tickets amounting to four percent of the gross paid admissions to the fair.
The fair board is scheduled to discuss its ticket policy at its public meeting Tuesday.
