摘要

这项研究介绍了一项快速、低成本调查的结果，该调查收集了新冠肺炎大流行期间美国个人的劳动力市场数据。耶鲁大学劳工调查（YLS）使用YouGov的一个在线小组复制了政府家庭劳动力市场统计数据的主要来源“当前人口调查”的统计数据。YLS的优势包括其及时性、低成本以及快速提出新问题以研究疫情期间劳动力市场模式的能力。YLS的结果表明，在线调查可以以合理的准确性和低成本收集经济和人口数据。因此，此类调查可以作为对不太频繁的政府调查的有用补充，特别是在劳动力市场紧张且实时数据特别有价值的情况下。

Measuring the US employment situation using online panels: The Yale Labor Survey

This study presents the results of a rapid, low-cost survey that collected labor market data for individuals in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Yale Labor Survey (YLS) used an online panel from YouGov to replicate statistics from the Current Population Survey, the government’s main source of household labor market statistics. The YLS’s advantages include its timeliness, its low cost, and its ability to develop new questions quickly to study labor market patterns during the pandemic. The results of the YLS show that online surveys can be used to gather economic and demographic data with reasonable accuracy and at low cost. Such surveys can therefore be useful complements to less-frequent government surveys, particularly when the labor market is stressed and real-time data are especially valuable.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic and Social Measurement (JESM) is a quarterly journal that is concerned with the investigation of all aspects of production, distribution and use of economic and other societal statistical data, and with the use of computers in that context. JESM publishes articles that consider the statistical methodology of economic and social science measurements. It is concerned with the methods and problems of data distribution, including the design and implementation of data base systems and, more generally, computer software and hardware for distributing and accessing statistical data files. Its focus on computer software also includes the valuation of algorithms and their implementation, assessing the degree to which particular algorithms may yield more or less accurate computed results. It addresses the technical and even legal problems of the collection and use of data, legislation and administrative actions affecting government produced or distributed data files, and similar topics. The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of information and views between data producers and users. In addition, it considers the various uses to which statistical data may be put, particularly to the degree that these uses illustrate or affect the properties of the data. The data considered in JESM are usually economic or social, as mentioned, but this is not a requirement; the editorial policies of JESM do not place a priori restrictions upon the data that might be considered within individual articles. Furthermore, there are no limitations concerning the source of the data.
