The Bureau interviews about 60,000 households monthly using a 1 in 1400 sampling rate. Interviewers, including Mrs. Tweedy, visit addresses, collect four quarterly interviews over two years, and transmit data to Suitland MD. The process uses FOSDIC to convert forms to computer data for seasonal adjustments and an unemployment rate with plus minus 0.2 percent error.
