Current Population Survey, May 2017: Contingent Worker Supplement

NADAC data users should note that this data collection contains data on arts-related occupations. Please read the summary below for details.
This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey on the topic of Contingent Employment in the United States, which was administered as a supplement to the February 2017 CPS. In addition to administering the basic CPS, interviewers asked the supplementary questions in three-fourths of the sample households.
The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States, for the week prior to the survey. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self- employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment.
The Contingent Work Supplement questions were asked of all applicable persons age 16 years and older. The supplement data is comprised of information on contingent or temporary work that a person did without expecting continuing employment from the particular employer they happened to be working for. Also included is information about each worker's expectation of continuing employment, satisfaction with their current employment arrangement, current job history, transition into the current employment arrangement, search for other employment, employee benefits, and earnings. The occupation and industry information variables in this data collection can help the data users identify individuals who worked in arts and culture related fields. The occupations are listed in categories like "Architecture and engineering occupations" and "Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media Occupations," which include professions such as artists, architects designers, actors, musicians, and writers. Industries related to the arts and culture are in the "Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation" category. The supplement questions were not asked of unpaid family workers and persons not looking for work (this includes persons not in the labor force and unemployed persons on layoff who are not looking for work). Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

NADAC数据使用者请注意，本数据集包含与艺术相关职业的数据。请阅读下文摘要以了解详细信息。
本数据集由两套调查问卷的回复数据构成：一是基础版当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS），二是作为2017年2月CPS补充模块开展的美国非常规就业情况专项调查。除基础CPS调查外，访员还向四分之三的抽样家庭询问了补充问卷问题。
CPS为月度开展的劳动力调查，旨在针对调查前一周的美国人口经济状况与活动情况提供最新估算数据。具体而言，CPS可提供总就业人数（含农业与非农业就业）、非农业自营职业者、家政工人及非农业家庭企业无酬协助者、薪资雇员的相关估算数据，同时也可提供总失业人数的估算结果。
所有16岁及以上符合条件的受访者均需回答非常规就业补充模块的问题。该补充模块的数据涵盖受访者从事临时或非固定雇佣工作的相关信息——即此类工作并非来自其当前供职雇主的持续性雇佣邀约。此外，数据还包含每位受访者的持续雇佣预期、当前雇佣安排满意度、当前工作履历、当前雇佣安排的转变过程、其他就业岗位搜寻情况、员工福利及收入等信息。本数据集内的职业与行业信息变量，可帮助数据使用者识别曾在艺术与文化相关领域从业的个体。
职业类别涵盖「建筑与工程职业」「艺术、设计、娱乐、体育与媒体职业」等，其中包含艺术家、建筑师、设计师、演员、音乐家及作家等职业。与艺术文化相关的行业则归类于「艺术、娱乐与休闲」类别。
需注意，补充问卷未向无酬家庭帮工以及未在求职的人群（含非劳动力群体、处于停工待岗且未求职的失业人员）发放。本数据集包含的人口统计变量包括年龄、性别、种族、西班牙裔血统、婚姻状况、退伍军人身份、教育程度、职业及收入。
