Census Bureau to Host Webinar on Current Population Survey Modernization

The U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics are modernizing the Current Population Survey to address declining response rates and rising collection costs. This collaborative effort aims to ensure long-term survey sustainability amidst increasing operational challenges and contact requirements. This initiative is vital for open data because the CPS provides essential labor market statistics that underpin public understanding of economic health. Modernizing the methodology ensures that high-quality, reliable data remains accessible for researchers, policymakers, and citizens, preserving transparency and trust in federal statistics for future analysis and decision-making.
