Like most establishment surveys the Public Employment Survey data are highly skewed. Our goal was to reduce the number of small units included in the sample since they collectively account for a small percentage of the total and currently account for a disproportionate number of sample units. A first stage sample of individual government units was selected via a probability proportional to size method within each state by type of government (city, county, township, special district, school district) using the sample sizes from the previous sample design. In the second stage, classification into size strata was determined using the Cumulative Square Root of the Frequency method [1] within selected states by type of government. After classification into size strata was determined, a subsample of individual government units in the stratum containing the small units was then taken to reduce the number of small units in the sample while maintaining comparability with the previous sample.
