The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor sponsors the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) to obtain information about how people respond to changes in the broader economy and how they make transitions through various stages of their lives. The NLS program has obtained a wealth information about young people making the transition from school to the labor market and adulthood; individuals in their 30s, 40s, and 50s as they make choices about their careers and families; and older individuals as they prepare for and enter retirement. Such information is obtained through the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79), the NLSY79 Child and Young Adult Surveys, and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The long-term objective of the National Longitudinal Surveys is to relate individuals' earlier development and influences on their outcomes later in life. Along the life course, information is collected on topics that influence or are influenced by labor market behavior. The content of the surveys emphasizes the behavior of individuals, but information also will be collected on aptitude and attitudes.
