ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Current Population Survey Technical Paper (CPS TP66) is an updated version of TP63RV. Previous chapters and appendices have been brought up-to-date to reflect the 2000 Current Surveys’ Sample Redesign and current U.S. Census Bureau confidentiality concerns. This included the deletion of five appendices. However, most of the design and methodology of the 2000 CPS design and methodology remains the same as that of January 1994, which is documented in CPS TP63RV. As updates in the design and methodology occur, they will be posted on the Internet version. There were many individuals who contributed to the publication of the CPS TP63 and TP63RV. Their valued expertise and efforts laid the basis for TP66. However, only those involved with this current version are listed in these Acknowledgments. Some authored sections/chapters/appendices, some reviewed the text for technical, procedural, and grammatical accuracy, and others did both. Some are still with their agencies and some have since left. This technical paper was written under the coordination of Andrew Zbikowski and Antoinette Lubich of the U.S. Census Bureau. Tamara Sue Zimmerman served as the coordinator/contact for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It has been produced through the combined efforts of many individuals. Contributing from the U.S. Census Bureau were Samson A. Adeshiyan, Adelle Berlinger, Sam T. Davis, Karen D. Deaver, John Godenick, Carol Gunlicks, Jeffrey Hayes, David V. Hornick, Phawn M. Letourneau, Zijian Liu, Antoinette Lubich, Khandaker A. Mansur, Alexander Massey, Thomas F. Moore, Richard C. Ning, Jeffrey M. Pearson, Benjamin Martin Reist, Harland Shoemaker, Jr., Bonnie S. Tarsia, Bac Tran, Alan R. Tupek, Cynthia L. Wellons-Hazer, Gregory D. Weyland, and Andrew Zbikowski. Lawrence S. Cahoon and Marjorie Hanson served as editorial reviewers of the entire document.

Hayghe, Kathy Herring, Diane Herz, Vernon Irby, Sandi Mason, Brian Meekins, Stephen M. Miller, Thomas Nardone, Kenneth W. Robertson, Ed Robison, John F.
