The Census Bureau conducts the Current Population Survey (CPS) for the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a source of data on employment and unemployment. Each month the survey contacts about 50,000 households and collects basic data on the characteristics of households and their labor force status: employment, job search, occupation, weeks worked, hours worked last week, etc. More recently, the survey asks supplemental questions on a variety of other subjects: income, poverty, education, and migration.
