Abstract: The CPS demographic data include age, marital status, gender, Armed Forces status, education, race, origin, family income, and country of birth. The data are used for subject specific (labor-force and supplement) analytic research, for internal analytic research, for evaluating other surveys, and for selecting other survey samples.

Emergency Justfication: The Census Bureau must start collection CPS Demographic items no later than May 2015 in order to ensure data are complete for the 2017 ASEC sample. Any delay beyond May 2015 will mean the Census Bureau will not be able to provide data on same-sex households until the 2018 ASEC, compromising our mission to provide timely and relevant data that informs on an evolving social dynamic in our country.
