Where can I find more information about the revised weight for the Cross-Section Survey of Employees?
The original weight (SEQWTNR) provided to users on the WERS 2004 Cross-Section Survey of Employees data file was not exactly as described in Section 7.4 of the WERS 2004 Technical Report. Specifically, the adjustment for differential response rates by gender, which is discussed on p.102 of the Technical Report, was not included. Accordingly, a revised weight (SEQWTNR2) has been added to the dataset. A separate note outlines this issue in more detail and describes the impact on survey estimates of revising the weight to include the gender adjustment; this can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
