  • QUOTE: Because the labor force status of individuals in the general population is correlated with their specific geographic and demographic identification (eg, teenagers and unemployment, or rural married women and labor force participation), the variance of the labor force estimates can be reduced by controlling the CPS sample estimates to independent estimates of selected geographic and demographic population categories.
