[quote=Anonymous]PP, what makes you or anyone think that non-response in surveys is random? Certain types of businesses are disproportionately unlikely to respond, and in order to get a representative estimate of overall payrolls, you have to have a model for the characteristics of non-respondents. The lower the response rate, the harder it is to build and maintain that model, which means that preliminary estimates are noisier (above and beyond the mechanical effect of smaller sample sizes). Eventually, payrolls get benchmarked to administrative records, which have far fewer issues with non-response, but take months to obtain and compile. Lower response rates mean that those benchmark revisions are larger as well.[/quote]
