Book excerpt: The Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the primary source of labor force data for the entire nation. Although labor force and unemployment information are central to the CPS, extensive data on the social, economic, and demographic characteristics of the population are also collected through supplemental questions in the Annual Social and Economic Survey (ASEC) each March. Estimates in this report are from the ASEC supplement to the Current Population Survey. Because the CPS is designed to produce national rather than state-level estimates, the data for states are not as reliable as those for the nation. To improve the precision of estimates for California, data from two consecutive years are combined in this report, and an average is derived (please consult Appendix G of the 2011 March supplement documentation for details on the construction of averages). These estimates, based on two-year averages, are intended to facilitate the examination of changes in the state over time
