The Current Population Survey (CPS) is used to supplement
  census information between census years. These data
  consist of a random sample of persons from the CPS, with
  information on wages and other characteristics of the
  workers, including sex, number of years of education,
  years of work experience, occupational status, region of
  residence and union membership.

datasets

Data sets and utilities from Project MOSAIC
        (mosaic-web.org) used to teach mathematics, statistics,
        computation and modeling.  Funded by the NSF, Project MOSAIC is
        a community of educators working to tie together aspects of
        quantitative work that students in science, technology,
        engineering and mathematics will need in their professional
        lives, but which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
