Posted: 4/25/2025 ()

IPUMS CPS has added the February and March basic monthly data. Additionally, we have extended previously available supplement variables to cover additional years for the Volunteer and Civic Engagement Supplement, Food Security Supplement, and Tobacco Use Supplement. IPUMS CPS harmonizes microdata from the monthly U.S. labor force survey, the Current Population Survey (CPS), covering the period 1962 to the present. Data include demographic information, rich employment data, program participation and supplemental data on topics such as fertility, tobacco use, volunteer activities, voter registration, computer and internet use, food security, and more.
