These microdata contain demographic and social characteristic information for each sample member, as well as detailed data on labor force activity, types and amounts of income, and participation in various cash and noncash benefit programs. Questions about these topics were repeated for 12 interviews. Each interview covered a four-month reference period, with the first interview covering April 1996 to July 1996.
