The Department of Labor (DOL) is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection, sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, related to contingent work and alternative employment arrangements like independent contracting. The public has until April 10, 2025, to submit their feedback. This information collection helps the department understand contingent jobs and those involving digital labor platforms. The request is in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act, which requires the Office of Management and Budget's approval for information collections.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor wants to know what people think about a plan to learn more about jobs where people work temporarily, like short-term jobs or working through apps. They are asking for people's ideas on how to make this easier and less complicated.
