Survey of Income and Program Participation

The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) includes a Work Schedule topical module that is asked of employed respondents who are least 15 years old. The topical module contains a variety of detailed questions related to respondents’ employment history and job details, including whether respondents worked at home during a typical week in the previous month and whether there were any days when the respondent worked entirely at home. More information, including a data dictionary containing the exact questions contained within the topical module, is available from the SIPP home page.
