Abstract:
The Contingent Work Supplement questions focus on people with contingent jobs--those that people do not expect to last or that are temporary--and workers in alternative employment arrangements, such as independent contractors, on-call workers, temporary help agency workers, and workers provided by contract firms. There are also questions to identify digital labor platform workers, those who obtain work or pick tasks by using a digital labor platform mobile application (app) or website to directly connect them with customers or clients and arrange payment for the tasks.

Short Statement:
This is a reinstatement, but the total burden decreased from the 2023 collection. Total respondent burden for the collection of the 2025 CWS is estimated to be 2,400 hours, less than the initial estimate for the last collection in 2023. The initial 2023 estimation of response burden was 6 minutes, which tried to account for proposed changes in the questionnaire, but the actual burden turned out to be less. Taking into account the three new questions being added in 2025, the estimated average response time for each household is 3 minutes.
