Each volume in this series uses Public-Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) from the decennial censuses and other historical data to trace the economic path of various ethnic and racial groups from 1940 to 1980. The advisory group for the Incomes of Americans series included Barry Chiswick, Reynolds Farley, Nathan Glazer, Claudia Goldin, Jacob Mincer, Walter Oi, Stephen Thernstrom, and Finis Welch.
