Abstract
geocode data files are now available for distribution to researchers. The newest survey in the National Longitudinal Surveys program, the NLSY97 represents the U.S. population born during 1980 through 1984. Through the annual NLSY97 survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will be able to identify characteristics that define today’s youths ’ transition from school to the labor market and into adulthood. To achieve this, the round 1 NLSY97 survey collected extensive information on youths’ labor market behavior, educational experiences, and family and community backgrounds from both the youth respondent and one of the youth’s parents. This information will help researchers assess the impact of schooling and other environmental factors on these newest labor market entrants. NLSY97 data will also aid in determining how youth experiences relate to establishing a career, participating in government programs, and forming a family.
