Current Population Survey Modernization Efforts Webinar Series

OCT. 10, 2023 — The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) are set to hold the first in a joint webinar series to share updates and lay the groundwork for improvements to the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is sponsored jointly by the Census Bureau and BLS. It is the primary source of labor force statistics, a key Principal Federal Economic Indicator (PFEI), and is used to collect critical data measuring the nation’s economic and social well-being through supplemental questions to the monthly basic CPS questions. The Annual Social and Economic Supplement’s Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage statistics are an example of this.
