2004-2014 CPS Data on School Enrollment
The Current Population Survey (CPS) School enrollment data is collected each October. The supplement gathers information on school enrollment and educational attainment for individuals in the household. Additional questions on topics such as language proficiency, computer use and access, disability, student mobility and private school tuition are occasionally included. More information can be found at the CES website.
2014 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs
The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs (ASE) is a newly fielded survey that collects economic and demographic characteristics on businesses and business owners and samples firms with paid employees. This survey will provide information on the status, scope and nature of women-, minority-, and veteran-owned businesses on a yearly basis. Though similar to the Survey of Business Owners (SBO), there are important differences between the two surveys. See the ASE website for more information.
New RDC Project!
Migration Trajectories of International Students in the United States
Investigators: Jasmine Trang Ha, Elizabeth Boyle, Jack DeWaard, Ann Meier & John Robert Warren The study examines two questions. First, the researchers ask whether and how characteristics of first destination influence international students’ subsequent spatial mobility within the United States. Second, they consider how international students’ spatial mobility maps on to transitions across visa types. The researchers use data from the 2010 and 2015 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) with restricted identifiers to link with the American Community Survey (ACS). Their goal is to generate the first account of international students’ migration trajectories across U.S. states, metropolitan areas, and cities.
