SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

collection of basic demographic 

information on the Current Population 

Survey (CPS) beginning in September 

2024. The current clearance expires 

August 31, 2024. 

The CPS has been the source of 

official government statistics on 

employment and unemployment since 

1942. The Bureau of Labor Statistics 

(BLS) and the Census Bureau jointly 

sponsor the basic monthly survey. The 

Census Bureau also prepares and 

conducts all the field work. At the 

OMB’s request, the Census Bureau and 

the BLS divide the clearance request in 

order to reflect the joint sponsorship 

and funding of the CPS program. BLS 

submits a separate clearance request for 

the portion of the CPS that collects labor 

force information for the civilian 

noninstitutional population. Some of 

the information within that portion 

includes employment status, number of 

hours worked, job search activities, 

earnings, duration of unemployment, 

and the industry and occupation 

classification of the job held the 

previous week. The justification that 

follows is in support of the demographic 

data. 

The demographic information 

collected in the CPS provides a unique 

set of data on selected characteristics for 

the civilian noninstitutional population. 

Some of the demographic information 

we collect are age, marital status, sex, 

Armed Forces status, education, race, 

origin, and family income. We use these 

data in conjunction with other data, 

particularly the monthly labor force 

data, as well as periodic supplement 

data. We also use these data 

independently for internal analytic 

research and for evaluation of other 

surveys. In addition, we use these data 

as a control to produce accurate 

estimates of other personal 

characteristics. 

II. Method of Collection 

The CPS basic demographic 

information is collected from individual 

households by both personal visit and 

telephone interviews each month. All 

interviews are conducted using 

computer-assisted interviewing. 

Households in the CPS are in sample for 

four consecutive months, and for the 

same four months the following year. 

This is called a 4–8–4 rotation pattern; 

households are in sample for four 

months, in a resting period for eight 

months, and then in sample again for 

four months. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0049.
