The Bureau of Labor Statistics is seeking public comments on the proposed changes to the "National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997," which aims to study the transition from education to work and family life by surveying the same group of individuals over many years. This notice invites feedback on whether the data collection is necessary, the estimated burden on respondents, and suggestions to improve the quality and clarity of the collected data. The survey, conducted mainly by phone, will include new questions on work accommodations and retirement expectations, while reducing focus on topics like coronavirus and health behaviors to lessen respondent burden. Comments are due by April 28, 2025, and will be considered in the approval process for the information collection request.
Simple Explanation
The Bureau of Labor Statistics wants to hear what people think about changing a big survey they do with young people to learn about their jobs and families as they grow up. They want to make sure the survey is easy to understand and not too much work for the people answering the questions.
