Lag in releasing monthly data, CPS

IPUMS CPS works to release new basic monthly microdata as quickly as possible. While the delay may be up to a few weeks under normal circumstances, we are working to make the data available more quickly given the intense interest in these data during the COVID-19 pandemic. We released the April and May data via IPUMS CPS within one day of the Census Bureau’s release. Please see this pinned forum post for more information on release schedules and where to check for updates.
