Sumario:The article describes a method of obtaining gross flow statistics that are compatible with the monthly stock numbers and discusses seasonal adjustment of gross-flow series. The U.S. Census Bureau generates unpublished gross flow estimates as part of its monthly production of Current Population Survey (CPS) data. The procedure used by the Census Bureau to generate the tabulations each month starts by matching respondents in the current month to respondents in the previous month. Next, the sampling weights of the matched respondents are adjusted so that weighted sample totals match known population totals. The adjusted weights are then used to compute weighted estimates of labor force transition flows. The analysis that follows focuses on classification error and margin error.
