CPS85

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is used to supplement census
information between census years. These data consist of a random
sample of persons from the CPS85, with information on wages and
other characteristics of the workers, including sex, number of years
of education, years of work experience, occupational status, region of
residence and union membership.

Data sets from Project MOSAIC (<http://www.mosaic-web.org>) used
to teach mathematics, statistics, computation and modeling. Funded by the
NSF, Project MOSAIC is a community of educators working to tie together
aspects of quantitative work that students in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics will need in their professional lives, but
which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
