The National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) are a set of surveys sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor.[1] These surveys have gathered information at multiple points in time on the labor market experiences and other significant life events of several groups of men and women.[2] Each of the NLS samples consists of several thousand individuals, many of whom have been surveyed over several decades.[3][4]
