Carifio, James; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v32 n4 p469-77 Aug 1991
A survey of respondents and nonrespondents to the Vocational Education Data System's follow-up survey of Massachusetts community college graduates was designed to measure response bias. The survey investigated employment patterns, wages, and degree of job relatedness. Results suggest original data was biased, if at all, toward underestimation, not overestimation. (MSE)
