[EVENT: Thursday, June 13 at 2:00 p.m.]

The U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to hold a webinar on June 13, 2024, to share updates and lay the groundwork for improvements to the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) of the Current Population Survey (CPS). This is the second in a series of webinars on CPS modernization efforts.

The CPS is sponsored jointly by the Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It is the primary source of monthly labor force statistics, a key Principal Federal Economic Indicator (PFEI), and is used to collect critical data measuring the nation’s economic and social wellbeing through supplemental questions to the monthly basic CPS questions. The ASEC provides the nation's Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage statistics.

The upcoming webinar will discuss planned innovations to the ASEC. The presentation will also include a timeline for these proposed enhancements. The Census Bureau will continue to engage stakeholders and provide updates as CPS modernization efforts move forward.
