Data on multiple jobholders are from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a survey of about 60,000 households selected to represent the U.S. civilian noninstitutional population aged 16 years and older. The CPS is conducted monthly by the U.S. 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.
