The Bureau of Labor Statistics is requesting comments on a proposed revision of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) as part of its efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden. This survey, which began in 1997, tracks individuals born between 1980 and 1984 to study their transitions from school to work and family life. The BLS plans to conduct round 20 of the survey, which will mostly be done by phone and aims to collect updated information while minimizing the participants' effort. The public is encouraged to provide feedback on the necessity, utility, and burden of this information collection by March 29, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Bureau of Labor Statistics wants to check if it's still useful to ask people questions about their jobs and families, just like they have since 1997, but they want to make it quick and easy. They also want people to tell them what they think about these questions by March 29, 2021, so they can make the survey better.
