BLS Restricted Data Access

Notice of Suspension of some Restricted Data Access

June 9, 2025

BLS will no longer accept new applications for restricted data access for all programs except the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY). In addition, current non-NLSY research access is suspended. The cuts to researcher access to restricted microdata are due to resource limitations.

BLS will continue to provide researcher access to the NLSY, including new research applications.
