Phase-In of a New <strong>Design</strong><br />
When a newly redesigned sample is introduced into the<br />
ongoing CPS rotation scheme, there are a number of reasons<br />
not to discard the old CPS sample one month <strong>and</strong><br />
replace it with a completely redesigned sample the next<br />
month. Since redesigned sample contains different sample<br />
areas, new field representatives must be hired. Modifications<br />
in survey procedures are usually made for a redesigned<br />
sample. These factors can cause discontinuity in<br />
estimates if the transition is made at one time.<br />
Instead, a gradual transition from the old sample design to<br />
the new sample design is undertaken. Beginning in April<br />
2004, the 2000 census-based design was phased in<br />
through a series of changes completed in July 2005 (U.S.<br />
Department of Labor, 2004).<br />
