Missing Inaction: Evidence of Undercounting of Non-Workers in
the Current Population Survey (CPS)
February 2006, John Schmitt and Dean Baker

report examines one major source of bias in the yearly Current Population
Survey -- nonresponse rates. It shows evidence of systematic undercounting due
to the disproportionately high nonresponse rate from individuals who are less likely to be employoed than the general
population. (BP200602C)
