The National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) program faces the biggest threat in its 47-year history as a result of reductions in the 2012 and 2013 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) budgets. The cuts will affect the ability to collect and disseminate data from April 2012 onward.

What can you do?  Write to Labor Secretary - Hilda Solis (talktosolis@dol.gov) and Acting BLS Commissioner - John Galvin (galvin.john@bls.gov) with your input. Your opinion can affect the future of the NLS.
