SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

BLS and the Census Bureau have 

previously conducted three 

supplements to the CPS on disability 

employment issues, in May 2012, July 

2019, and July 2021. The basic monthly 

CPS has existed since the 1940s and is 

the source of official government 

statistics on the unemployment rate and 

other labor market measures. Similar to 

the previous versions, the 2024 

Disability Supplement will be 

conducted alongside the basic monthly 

CPS, and therefore the same detailed 

demographic information collected in 

the basic monthly CPS will be available 

for respondents to the Disability 

Supplement, allowing for comparisons 

across demographic characteristics, 

including sex, race, ethnicity, age, and 

educational attainment. It will also be 

possible to create estimates for those 

who are employed, unemployed, and 

not in the labor force. Because the CPS 

is a rich source of information on the 

employment status of the population, it 

will be possible to examine in detail the 

nature of various employment and 

unemployment situations for 

individuals with disabilities. 

The CPS began tracking disability 

status in June 2008 by asking six 

questions, with anyone answering 

affirmatively to at least one question 

classified as having a disability. These 

six questions are also used in other 

national surveys such as the American 

Community Survey and various other 

federal surveys. The six questions ask 

whether a person: (1) is deaf or has 

serious difficulty hearing, (2) is blind or 

has serious difficulty seeing (even with 

the assistance of corrective lenses), (3) 

has serious difficulty concentrating, 

remembering, or making decisions, (4) 

has serious difficulty walking or 

climbing stairs, (5) has difficulty 

dressing or bathing, and (6) has 

difficulty doing errands alone. 

Data from the basic monthly CPS had 

revealed large disparities in labor 

market outcomes between people with 

and without disabilities, but more 

information was needed to understand 

the challenges facing people with 

disabilities and to improve programs 

and policies designed to help people 

with disabilities. To respond to this 

need, BLS and the Census Bureau have 

conducted three supplements to the CPS 

on disability employment issues, in May 

2012, July 2019, and July 2021. The first 

round was sponsored by ODEP while 

the subsequent rounds were sponsored 

by DOL’s Chief Evaluation Office. Given 

the work-related focus of the CPS, the 

Disability Supplement was designed to 

capture data on specific issues relating 

to employment. It aimed to (1) uncover 

more detail about the low labor force 

participation rates for people with 

disabilities, (2) understand the 

effectiveness of existing programs 

intended to prepare people with 

disabilities for employment, (3) provide 

more information about the work 

history of people with disabilities, (4) 

identify barriers to employment for 

people with disabilities, (5) learn more 

about workplace accommodations that 

assist people with disabilities, and (6) 

measure the extent and effectiveness of 

financial assistance programs. The 2012 

Disability Supplement found that, of 

people with disabilities who were 

employed, more than half had some 

difficulty completing their work duties 

due to their disability. Barriers to 

employment included lack of education 

or training, lack of transportation, need 

for accommodations at the workplace, 

and a person’s own disability. 

The 2019 CPS Disability Supplement, 

which included the same set of 

questions as the 2012 version, was 

conducted to capture the effects of 

changes in the intervening seven years 

in work patterns, assistive technologies, 

and public policies on employment 

barriers for people with disabilities. Of 

people with disabilities who were not 

employed, almost half reported at least 

one barrier to employment, such as a 

person’s own disability, lack of 

education or training, lack of 

transportation, or the need for job 

accommodations. 

The third CPS Disability Supplement 

was conducted in July 2021 during the 

COVID–19 pandemic, using the same set 

of questions from the prior versions of 

the survey. This update provided 

information about how barriers to 

employment for people with disabilities 

may have changed as a result of the 

pandemic. The 2021 survey showed, of 

persons with a disability who were not 

employed, there had been a small 

decrease in the proportion of those 

reporting some type of barrier to 

employment, relative to the 2019 CPS 

Disability Supplement. 

A fourth CPS Disability Supplement 

is being prepared, to be conducted in 

2024. This Disability Supplement 

provides an opportunity to reconsider 

the questions asked in the survey in 

light of the socioeconomic changes that 

have taken places since the 

development of the current set of 

questions more than ten years ago. 

Interested parties can find the most 

recent questionnaire at Attachment 8 of: 

https://www2.census.gov/programssurveys/cps/techdocs/cpsjul21.pdf. 

Request for Information 

Through this RFI, we are soliciting 

feedback from interested and affected 

parties on the data collection that will 

be undertaken via the fourth CPS 

Disability Supplement, for addressing 

disability employment related issues 

addressed in the previous three 

Disability Supplements.1 Comments to 

this RFI will inform decisions regarding 

the topics, questions, and response 

options included in the Disability 

Supplement. We encourage commenters 

to provide detail about why they 

recommend certain revisions, which 

could include, but are not limited to, 

informing policy, identifying a relevant 

subpopulation of the disability 

community, reducing respondent 

burden, or making the questions clearer 

to survey respondents. This RFI notice 

is for internal planning purposes only 

and should not be construed as a 

solicitation or as an obligation on the 

part of DOL or any participating federal 

agencies. 

We ask commenters to address the 

following questions in the context of the 

preceding discussion in this document. 

Commenters do not need to address 

every question and should focus on 

those that relate to their expertise or 

perspective. To the extent possible, 

please clearly indicate the question(s) 

addressed in your response. 

Questions 

Work History 

1. Should the question about 

difficulty completing current work 

duties (location 1003–1004) be 

rephrased in any way? Should the 

response options be altered? 

2. Should there be more extensive 

questions about past work experience 

than the single one (location 1005–1006) 

previously used? 

3. Should the question on departure

1010 through—1025–1026), also be 

asked of those currently employed and/ 

or those who are not identified as 

having a disability? 

5. Should the categorization of 

barriers (locations 1009–1010 through 

1025–1026) be altered in any way, 

whether by adding to, removing, or 

rephrasing the existing categories? 

6. Should the question asking about 

ability to work in the absence of barriers 

(location 1027–1028) consist of a set of 

questions, with the response to each 

recorded separately for each type of 

barrier identified in the preceding set of 

questions? 

Employment Services and Vocational 

Rehabilitation 

7. Should the categorization of 

employment services (locations 1029–

from a particular type of employment 

service, how helpful these services 

were? 

Job Accommodations 

9. Should the categorization of job 

accommodations (locations 1059–1060 

through 1075–1076) be altered in any 

way, whether by adding to, removing, or 

rephrasing the existing categories? 

10. Should there be any questions 

asked about past requests for job 

accommodations, prior to the job in the 

current workplace? 

Commuting and Work Hours 

11. Should the categorization of

categories? 

15. Should the question asking about 

having worked less due to a constraint 

from a financial assistance program 

(location 1153–1154) instead consist of 

a set of questions, with the response to 

each recorded separately, for each type 

of financial assistance program 

identified in the preceding set of 

questions? 

General 

16. Are there any gaps in existing 

information about disability 

employment that have not been 

addressed by the questions contained in 

the past disability supplements but that 

could be considered for this future CPS 

Disability Supplement? 

17. Which existing questions or sets of 

questions, if any, should be removed 

from the survey? Please include a reason 

for your suggested removal. Some 

possible reasons for suggesting removal 

may include: lack of practical utility (or 

lesser utility compared with potential 

new questions), challenges to collecting 

accurate data through a household 

survey, or socioeconomic or policy 

changes obviating the continued need 

for a previously important question.
