The Bureau of Labor Statistics has collected data on contingent and alternative employment arrangements as supplements to its Current Population Survey since February 1995. The CPS is a monthly nationwide survey of about 60,000 households that obtains information on employment, unemployment, earnings, demographics, and other characteristics of the civilian noninstitutionalized population age 16 and over.
