Data are from the Current Population Survey, a survey of about
60,000 households selected to represent the U.S. civilian noninstitutional
population age 16 years and older. The survey is conducted monthly by the
Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Multiple jobholders are those
who report in the reference week that they are wage or salary workers who hold
two or more jobs, self-employed workers who also hold a wage or salary job, or
unpaid family workers who also hold a wage or salary job.
