Statistical Survey Paper Collection
The Statistical Survey Papers series is a collection of statistical research papers maintained by the Office of Survey Methods Research. It contains papers written by BLS statisticians and behavioral scientists. Included are papers presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings and other conferences, as well as papers appearing in journals and the BLS Statistical Notes series. A sample of the papers follows.

BLS Economic Working Papers
The BLS Economic Working Paper Series is a collection of research papers authored by senior economists within the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The purpose of the Series is to circulate research findings to interested readers as a means of encouraging discussion prior to publication.
