  This paper is part of a coordinated collection of papers on prime-age male
earnings volatility. Each paper produces a similar set of statistics for the
same reference population using a different primary data source. Our primary
data source is the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics
(LEHD) infrastructure files. Using LEHD data from 1998 to 2016, we create a
well-defined population frame to facilitate accurate estimation of temporal
changes comparable to designed longitudinal samples of people. We show that
earnings volatility, excluding increases during recessions, has declined over
the analysis period, a finding robust to various sensitivity analyses.
