Response rates during the COVID-19 pandemic

BLS data collection was affected to differing degrees by the pandemic. Some surveys had to collect data in new ways because in-person visits were suspended and telephone collection centers were temporarily closed. Some survey respondents’ availability, ability, or willingness to provide data was disrupted. For more details on data collection changes, please see our COVID-19 page.
