Testing a New Field of Degree Question for the American Community Survey. 2007 American Community Survey Content Test Report

摘要

The 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) Content Test was designed to assess whether the ACS can reliably collect data on the field of a person's bachelors degree. The inclusion of a field of degree question on the ACS was proposed to provide field of degree data annually for small levels of geography and to assist in building a sampling frame for the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG).
