Excerpt from the report:
These data on volunteering were collected through a supplement to the September 2005 Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of about 60,000 households that obtains information on employment and unemployment among the nation’s civilian noninstitutional population age 16 and older. Volunteers are defined as persons who worked without being paid (except for expenses) through or for an organization at least once during the past year. In this essay, "the past year" refers to the period from September 2004 through September 2005. For more information about the volunteer supplement, see http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/volun.pdf.
