The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the Department of Labor is seeking public comments on the proposed reinstatement of the "Current Population Survey (CPS) Disability Supplement." This effort is part of their ongoing initiative to minimize paperwork and assess the impact of information collection on respondents. The CPS Disability Supplement aims to gather updated information on the employment challenges faced by people with disabilities, especially in light of changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. The BLS is particularly interested in feedback regarding the necessity, accuracy, and effectiveness of the proposed data collection.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor wants to ask people about how hard it is for folks with disabilities to find jobs, especially after COVID-19. They are making sure to use less paper and want to know if the way they plan to gather this information makes sense and is helpful.
