Abstract: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how establishment survey questionnaire design can be improved by utilizing different research methods such as focus groups, document design analysis, pretests, and response analysis surveys. They discuss the lack of research on establishment survey methods in the past, compare the tasks of respondents in establishment and household surveys, and highlight the work of the Bureau of Labor Statistics on designing establishment survey questionnaires. As part of this discussion, the authors outline changes made to the questionnaire to reduce potential errors. The results indicate that each research method improves establishment survey questionnaire design by identifying various types of errors.
