3 EARNED INCOME
Beginning with the 2015 CPS ASEC, the Earnings and Income question series include range follow-up questions presented anytime a respondent doesn't know or refuses to provide an exact dollar amount for a source they (or someone in the household) indicates as having received. Follow-up questions allow respondents that do not feel comfortable giving exact dollar values to report an income range. There are three sets of categories used for the income range follow-up questions: high-range, mid-range, and low-range. The income range used in the follow-up range questions depends on the source of the income. See Attachment A to this items booklet for the three levels of income range follow up questions. See Attachment B for a table that displays the income source and the range level used for the follow-up questions.
