The Government Resources Section of the North Carolina Library Association and the American Library Association Government Documents Round Table welcome you to a series of webinars designed to help us increase our familiarity with government information. All are welcome because government information wants to be free.   The Current Population Survey is the monthly labor survey for the USA and provides rich demographic data. It is also a rich source for many other topics including civic engagement, computer & internet use, education, fertility & marriage, food security, immunization, public arts, tobacco use, (under)banked, veterans, volunteer work, and voting. Learn about its history, changes, and how to access both summary data as well as microdata. We will meet online on Thursday, January 21st from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (Eastern).
