In addition, both government and non-government researchers rely on the CPS employment rates and earnings figures for non-forensic purposes.  Burkhauser, Daly, and Houtenville (2001), for example, used data from the March supplement of the CPS to compare the employment experience of people with and without disability during the 1990s business cycle.  This paper was published through the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) for Economic Research on Employment Policy for Persons with Disabilities at Cornell University.  The Cornell RRTC has also published several other papers using CPS data on persons with a work disability.  These include three papers by Houtenville (2000) that studied the prevalence, employment rates, and household income of people with disability, as well as a paper by Burkhauser, Houtenville, and Wittenburg (2001) that compared the employment trends of persons with work limitations using the CPS and two other government surveys. 

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, also use CPS data to study persons with a disability.  This work includes an article published in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Monthly Labor Review (Yelin and Katz, 1994) that used both the CPS and the National Health Interview Survey to study the participation trends of people with and without disability during the period from 1970 to 1992.  Yelin (1996) and Yelin and Trupin (1997) used the CPS to study the participation and employment of people with and without disability during the mid-1990s.

The research list above is not meant to be complete.  It does, however, give an idea of the variety of researchers using CPS data.  The use of the CPS by this sampling of government and non-government researchers corroborates the validity of the CPS for the purpose of studying the work experience of people with a work disability.
