Description

The Real-Time Population Survey (RPS) is a national labor market survey of US adults aged 18-64 following the core questionnaire of the Current Population Survey (CPS), supplemented with additional questions (e.g., about commuting behavior and employer tenure). Separate waves of the survey were conducted each month between April 2020 and June 2021. Since then the RPS has been run two to three times per year.
