Using administrative data to augment compensation surveys
Using administrative data to augment compensation surveys
This project matches national compensation survey (NCS) data with publicly available Form 5500 filings to augment information not collected as part of the NCS, to compare information collected in both sources, and to evaluate whether respondent burden can be reduced through the use of Form 5500 records. Additionally, we are now in the initial stages of trying to apply the matching approaches we have developed to new NCS Survey data as it is collected.
Project Objective:
Pilot intended to go to production to supplement existing data
Project Outcomes:
Improved data quality; reduced respondent burden; more efficient use of program resources.

Accessing Data
| Data Access Rights: | Broader access rights |
|---|---|
| Intermediary Comments: | Currently our partner is funding a contractor to support the matching effort. Going forward we anticipate future matching can be performed internally using the algorithms being developed by the contractor. |
| Data Access Comments: | The confidential data under this project is held by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Because we are matching with publicly available data, we can use the matched product very broadly. |
