Current Population Survey
Abstract
The current population survey (CPS) is the world's longest continuing large‐scale sample survey. Carried out by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPS forms the basis of the monthly release of U.S. employment rates. The design of the CPS involves a complex combination of stratification, clustering, and random selection, and it follows a special rotating panel structure of households that allows for special month to month and year to year comparisons. The CPS is perhaps the most‐studied survey in the world and is widely emulated, but its monthly employment statistics are not without controversy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
