The PSID Sample and Following Strategy in 2007PSID interviewed 8,289 families in 2007.All of these families are members of the Core or the Immigrant samples 1 .In 2007, the following rule was the same as in the prior 2005 wave 2 .Specifically, sample persons who participated in the previous wave survey were followed.Additionally, the PSID attempted to obtain an interview with sample individuals who did not respond in the prior wave (2005 survey year), but responded in the wave before the prior wave (2003 survey year). 1 The Core sample is the combination of two samples: the Survey Research Center 1960 National Sample (SRC) and a subsample of families interviewed in 1967 by the Bureau of the Census for the Office of Economic Opportunity (SEO).The respondents from the Core sample have been interviewed since 1968.In 1997 and 1999 a sample of the post-1968 immigrants was added.Information on the immigrant sample is available under the column "Other Documentation" for years
