This paper uses, among other sources, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPS data that covers 1960-2009 to analyze just 2 years of data. The authors do cite the whole CPS, but you have to read the paper to see which bits of that set matter to this paper. The bulk of the paper itself is their explanation of the various statistical methods they used to support their conclusions. The data is neither novel or unique to them. Their analysis however, may be novel and is certainly unique to them. They also provide some technical documentation, e.g. we did x with SPSS. So, ideally, it would be nice to have a citation to the paper, to the 2 year subset of data relevant to it and a citation to the entire BLS CPS data. This is not agricultural economics, but I think that pretty similar patterns will be found there too.
