comparable with data for prior years. For an explanation, see "Historical Comparability" under the Household Data section of the Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error. 3/ Data, beginning in 1994, are not strictly comparable with data for 1993 and prior years because of the introduction of a major redesign of the Current Population Survey (household survey) questionnaire and collection methodology. For additional information, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994" in the February 1994 issue of this publication. Beginning in 1990, data incorporate 1990 cecsus-based population controls, adjusted for the estimated undercount.
