I haven’t seen or received any updates on the release of the Contingent Worker Supplement data. Last time I asked this question, I was told to follow-up in early 2019. Is there a timeline or explanation for the delay? Thanks!

The IPUMS CPS Team is still working on harmonizing and preparing the most recent Contingent Worker Supplement for release on IPUMS CPS. It is difficult to accurately forecast future data releases, but we hope these data will be available sometime this spring.
