Abstract
Working Phone Rate (WPR) usually means the proportion of telephone numbers in a telephone sample that connects to a residence and the WPR for landline telephone samples has been steadily declining since the early 1990’s. This decline has affected phone room efficiencies, interviewer morale and ultimately survey costs. This paper addresses the various causes for the decline and what they may mean for the future of telephone surveying.
